What is the maximum characters you can store in a string object?
I am having problems keeping > 253 characters at a time.

Thanks

Hi Andres,

from the online-help:

There are two kinds of strings: variable-length and fixed-length
strings.

A variable-length string can contain up to approximately 2 billion
(2^31) characters.

A fixed-length string can contain 1 to approximately 64K (2^16)
characters.

Though I don't understand,
why that should be "approximately".

Arguments of some functions like in Word "range.find", however,
are limited to 256 characters.
