That might even have hit a different limit in that case: you cannot set a variable to text greater than 32K bytes (about 30,000 characters: my guesstimate would be more like 20 pages, but perhaps 10-12 could do it). If you had any Note whose content was longer than that (?), then it just wouldn't work. I might be able somehow to set more than one variable, but it might be awkward. i wouldn't like to truncate it. Even using text files, you'd have to set a variable to the content of a single record note first. It's possible that there's a similar limit for lists (total number of bytes per list) which would obviously have been greatly exceeded. I could find that out. If that were the case, and as long as the limit isn't the same 32K bytes, that could be avoided by writing to the file record by record, and never making a list in the first place. That would require far, far more osax calls (the 'write' and 'eof' commands) but still probably wouldn't add appreciably to the time taken: we're not talking about thousands of records here. -- Paul Berkowitz -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To search the archives: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/>
