Oh that's right. There's some sort of string-size limitation in VFP. I'm sure it is more than 255 chars, but could be less that 65K. Dirty ugly way that I remember: create cursor one_record (mText M) select one_record append blank scatter memo name oOneRecord for n = 1 to 500000: oOneRecord.mText = oOneRecord.mText + "hiya_" endfor * now stuff your editbox with the contents of oOneRecord.mText The non-rusty gurus will of course have a cleaner solution.
