String = fielda & fieldb statement results in truncation

[chopsuey2]

Hi

Interesting little problem here. Have a build string statement:-

string = fielda & fieldb

Fieldb is larger than 1024 as it is a textline for a letter.

When I look at the string field, fielda is there and complete but fieldb has been truncated to 1024 characters!

Anybody know of any restrictions when building strings?

Many thanks

Where are you displaying the text?
A text field, data type allows max 250.
But obviously, if it is a text box, you're displaying it in, you have it set to Memo type, which allows a few thousand, I believe.
I can't figure out where you're displaying this, because you seem to be, somewhere in between a Memo data type, and a text data type?

Lastly, I'm assuming string, is not a fixed length variable?
You did not fix its length, at time of declaration?
Dim string As String * 2000
