We use code to auto-generate some notes on documents.
Longer notes are not displayed in their entirety–with the limit seeming to be around 60-65 characters.
I can use Jet to look at the note as it is stored in the database…The note is there in it’s entirety (131 characters)! Why won’t NAV show me the whole note in the UI?
I can copy/paste MUCH longer than that in the UI and it shows up fine.

The essentials of the code for the note creation are:
RecLink.Note.CREATEOUTSTREAM(OutStream1);
OutStream1.WRITETEXT(MessageText);
RecLink.Created := CURRENTDATETIME;
RecLink.”User ID” := USERID;
RecLink.Company := COMPANYNAME;
RecLink.INSERT(TRUE);

Greg, 

I am not sure if that is the reason but try encoding the text before assigning it. Check the function in my blog post

Unfortunately no–that didn’t fix it. Thanks for the idea though–definitely worth a shot.

Try this:

RecLink.Note.CREATEOUTSTREAM(OutStream);
BinStream := BinStream.BinaryWriter(OutStream, TextEncoder.UTF8);
BinStream.Write(TextNoteHere);

Where:
BinStream is a DotNet variable of type System.IO.BinaryWriter
TextEncoder is a DotNet variable of type System.Text.Encoding
