Counting number of lines in memo field

[Guest]

Hi folks,
How do I go about displaying the line count of a memo field? I need to
create a report that shows how many lines there are in a memo field for each
record and a total line count at the end of the report. Thanks in advance!!!

No built-in way to do that.

If each line is newline terminated and short enough to not
wrap to multiple lines, then you could just count the
newline sequences in the memo.

That's a pretty unlikely scenario, so you are either out of
luck or you'll have to try using the fTextHeight function at

Oh... So I'll have to make some routine to count the newlines then...
Alright. I was hoping for an easy answer, but I guess I have to code this one
Thanks again!
