SYMPTOMS
When looking at a memo field in the Debugger Watch window, extra characters that are not a part of the memo field are displayed to the right of the Field's value.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. This has been corrected in Visual FoxPro 6.0.



Steps to Reproduce Behavior
 Create a table as following:

CREATE TABLE test1 ( fld1 M )

 Add a record to the table as following:

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

 Open the Debugger window. In the Watch window enter Test1.Fld1, to check the value. 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.
