Does the "Data Length" have any bearing on how much data can be loaded into each Column.
I have Row Limit set to -1.
I can load 550 rows but not 595 (only shows 13)
TIA

Barry,
I believe it affects how much you can stuff into the edittable via a PROPERTY. However, using the Send_Message(Edittable, "INSERT") approach shouldn't have any problems.

Thanks Don.
There still is a 64k limit, at least for Data Bound windows, I assume.

Correct. I assumed that since you used -1 that this isn't databound.

Barry..
The Data Length parameter DOES impact memory usage in a data table. I always set the data length to what I want to show. Typically, I use dialog boxes to enter data into the row involved rather than having a user enter data into the table directly. Mostly, I don't want to have a lot of code hooked to each field in the table with all the manipulation necessary to make this work easily. Instead, I allow for a double-click or pushbutton to change / add data or delete data. The -1 parameter for maximum rows will help. I'm not sure whether the 64K limit applies to the table as a whole or to each thing that makes up the table. For example, I have a data-table that displays 1 real field and all the rest are symbolics. In this case, I have displayed in excess of 5,000 items without trouble. Nobody said that it is efficient to do this given the overhead of re-calculation of symbolics. Typically when I populate the table, I don't display it until the amount on the screen has been calculated.

"I always set the data length to what I want to show".
How do you do that.

Barry..
When you are working inside an edit table, there are some parameters at the lower left-hand corner. They are labeled Width and Data Length. The width is in pixels for the display the data length is how many characters. The documentation for this says:
"Sets the maximum number of characters to display. Data length is measured in number of characters." This is where I do this.

I have also noted that the insert message used with an edit table will actually truncate data at the length specified. It just disappears…
