Length limitation of memo in header of report?

[Brian Hancox]

I have created a report which has a memo in the header.
It seems always to limit the characters displayed to
256ish. Is there any way of getting the report to show
the entire content of the memo in the header.

Memo fields normally display all their contexts in a CanGrow
text box in any section except the Page header/footer
sections, which can't grow.

One issue that you may be seeing is that a query that has to
compare the value a memo field will truncate the field to
255 chars. Some of the key words that may cause this are
DISTINCT, GROUP BY, ORDER BY, UNION, ???

Another reason is if the memo's text box in the report has
something specified in its Format property.
