MORE INFORMATION

Steps to Reproduce Behavior

  1. Create a table as following:

    CREATE TABLE test1 ( fld1 M )

  2. Add a record to the table as following:

    INSERT INTO test1 VALUES ( 'This is a test' )

  3. Open the Debugger window.
  4. In the Watch window enter Test1.Fld1, to check the value.
  5. Look to the right of the "This is a Text" string where you see that there are some characters that are not a part of the Memo field.
If you change the value (Add/Delete characters) in the Memo field, from Visual FoxPro, then additional characters appear.
