As per VFP6 Help topic "Data and Field Types", it is limited by available memory. In another Help Topic, "Visual FoxPro System Capacities", you can also find that maximum # of characters per record is 65,500, but I guess it doesn't include full length of Memo fields, just that 4 bytes that it takes up in the record. Plus, you should take into consideration that FoxPro has 2G limit on file size, .DBF, .CDX and .FPT separately.
