Yikes! ..."Blob".... That is another variable I need to consider.
I was going to use Marc's suggestion and use one RTF file but the users want a really tight formatted report with shaded headings and other visual goodies so i am sort of at a loss at this time.
Just FYI to all, i did talk with RBTI about this and at least I am convinced that for this type of application v8 turbo is probably going to be necessary for all this data.

One difference I noticed between having a varchar and a note
column in a table is that if you will be exporting the data (say
to an Excel file), you will just get the word [BLOB] for a varchar
field, whereas you would get the full note. I searched to see
whether there's a setting or option to download varchars any
other way but I couldn't find it. So if you need to export a field,
then you need to stick with a note field.

I am going to switch to a varchar in 7.1 so I can have
more than 4k for the notes.
