    Hello!

    Does String in VB have any limitations in size?

    Regards

    Do a search in the VB help for String Data type.

    I think it is something like 2 billion bytes but I am not sure.

    2 billion is right....

    2,000,000,000 approx is the max number of characters allowed in VB strings.

    However, textboxes are limited to 64Kb strings (richtextboxes can go higher though).

    writing software in C++ is like driving rivets into steel beam with a toothpick.
    writing haskell makes your life easier:
    reverse (p (6*9)) where p x|x==0=""|True=chr (48+z): p y where (y,z)=divMod x 13
    To throw away OOP for low level languages is myopia, to keep OOP is hyperopia. To throw away OOP for a high level language is insight.
