SYMPTOMS
In Microsoft Project 98, when you run a Visual Basic macro that uses the Notes property, the notes text result is truncated. The following macro demonstrates this problem:
Sub test()
MsgBox ActiveProject.Tasks(1).Notes
End Sub
CAUSE
This problem occurs because the notes property returns the first 255 characters entered into the Notes field for a task, a resource, or an assignment.
