David, I believe the field limit for X and Y is 32767 pixels. Or is it 65535? 32767 sticks in my head. I have run into this limit a few times and had to chunk the data in/out the field as the user scrolls. As Craig noted variables don't have this limit.

You want to display 1.39 GB in a field? Will it scroll? I made a quick test stack that created a variable with a length of 1.4 GB. No problem. But when I tried to put that variable into a field, LC crashed. When I tried to put 140 MB into a field, same crash. I did not continue to reduce the length of that variable until the field could be loaded.
