Displaying text

[danab]

I have a large text box that displayes text information in my app on my main form.
The app is linked to a database and so is the information inside the textbox.
My question is this:
Is it a bad idea to store the text directly in the database and then display it directly from the data base?
Is it better to have a text file with the data inside , and the file name stored in the data base?
Is it recomended to store large strings in
a database field??
Thanks.
Danny.

hi

It is recommended to store text file in database then being shown by textbox or rictextbox (if your textis large ),you can store each line in each field which will make your seek faster (if you wnat to search..)
