You don't say which version of R:BASE you're using, but if it's version 7.6
or lower, there is a limit of 4,096 characters per record (Turbo B-8 has
increased it to 32,768).  If your table  has multiple note fields, it's
possible that the couple of records you've encountered that have this
problem have gotten to the limit on line length.  If that's the case, you
could change them to VARCHAR fields and remove the line length limitation.

Subject: [RBASE-L] - DB Memo

 

I have a form that has a DB Memo field, using a Note column.  Most of the
time the Memo works fine, but occassionally when I type in a long string of
text it will only save the first 3 or 4 characters.  I can delete all the
data in the field and still won't let me put in more characters.  The
problem is erractic.  I can go edit the data in the table and put in a long
string, go back to the form and everything is fine, but if I make any change
in the DB Memo it Spazzes out.

Example:

Today is such a nice day, etc...................

Will only save:  Toda

 

Previous and next customer will work fine
