I'm sorry. I didn't see that it was a DB RichEdit, in which case the underlying db datatype is a Note data type which has a limit of 4k. If you are going to need larger data, then set the field to a VarChar and use the Variable RichEdit to manipulate VarChar data. There wouldn't be a size limitation on a Variable RichEdit. You would retrieve your Varchar data to a variable of Type Varchar, then write to (a temp) File, then Load_From_File to put the data into the Variable Richedit and reverse the process for storage in the DB.
