<< After I hit the send button, I noticed that the balloon only showed on items that were larger than the listview width. So I had already implemented your suggestion before you suggested it. I was just kind of waiting to see what other ideas might show up. But this one works just fine. >>
You're safe up to (I think) 255 or 256 characters, so you can have more of the message display than fits in the column width, as long as you limit it to the right number of characters. To get extra fancy, if the length of the note field is more than 256 characters, you can select the first 253 and add an ellipsis at the end: (IFGT(SLEN(NoteColumn), 256, (SGET(NoteColumn, 253, 1) + '...'), SGET(NoteColumn, 256, 1))) -- Larry
