Subject:  Re: How to enter data into a memo field
I am having a really hard time understanding what you mean by "it can be done using the field name directly on the text area" and by "using a variable but it will only hold 254 chars".
 
VFP variables can hold a lot more than 254 characters, but string literals can only be up to 254 characters.  If you want to specify the content of a variable in code, you can do something like:
 
MyVar = "1234...(254 characters)"
MyVar = MyVar = Myvar + "1234...(254 characters)"
 
-or-
 
MyVar = "1234...(254 characters)" + "1234...(254 characters)" + ...

Hi all,
I am trying to get some text entered in a text area into a memo field, I know it can be done using the field name directly on the text area but on this form I am using variables that later will be replaced on the corresponding record. I have tried using a variable but it will only hold 254 chars. Anyone has any ideas please ????
