VARCHAR2(2000) Isn't a BLOB

[DaveH]

When we first started working with Oracle (still using BDE), the BDE would recognize a field defined as VARCHAR2(2000) as a TBlobField, and Infopower's grid would behave as though it were a true memo field.

Without the BDE, Infopower cannot make the same definition, and we cannot get the Memo Dialog to open correctly.

Does anyone know how to get Infopower to recognize a VARCHAR2(2000) as a MemoField without using BDE?

As often happens, we solved our own problem with finding that setting MaxStringLength to 255 in the Session restored the correct behavior.

Oops.
