Memo Size Problem 1

[tbohon]

I have a memo component on a form and am reading a file into it for screen display.&nbsp;&nbsp;This works just fine for some files but, for others, it gives me an error and tells me that the file is too big for the memo field.<br><br>Since I don't know how big the actual (live) files will be, this might create a bit of an awkward situation &lt;g&gt;.<br><br>Any way to expand the memo field maximum size or is there a paging technique of which I need to be aware to allow me to display any size file?<br><br>Thanks!<br><br>Tom

Hello, Vladimir!<br><br>I just want to make a small remark...if you use a RichEdit control for plain text you should've changed the PlainText property to true. What this does is to change to RichEdit to a Memo field but with a greater capacity. I am writing this response because I think you'll meet some problems when trying to read from the RichEdit control. It will return its own formatted Text property. Sorry for being so long. Probably you've already worked this out but it's just a little prompt from me. Bye! ;-)
