most likely how rev displays characters in a font. + html or rtf involved. This is an old MC problem.
it's something to do with spacing. Maybe tabs. Just be carefull how much data you copy paste to rev from excel - it can crash it all. Once you see text go haywire, save everything... Pasting can be controlled, but well behaved stacks have to watch out for this! So for example, if you have more than 64Kbs in one line in custom prop, dont try to display it in the property palette... or put it in the msg... HC used to shield us from this by stripping (without warning) the extra information off the field. Rev is a bit lower level here ;) cheers Xavier > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of > Richard Gaskin > Sent: Wednesday, November 02, 2005 8:16 PM > To: How to use Revolution > Subject: Re: How to limit field to one line? > > [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > Richard, > > I'm finding that the display of data becomes unreadable somewhere > > around 40,000 characters (this may depend on the field > width settings > > - I have not experimented with that - that many characters > could not > > be shown on a a screen without scrolling anyway). > > This seems to be OS-specific.
