   Re: importing large data fields

   I met some problems not long ago:   
   In a (pretty big - several pages) Adobe Acrobat form I can use Acrobat to   
   compile the returned forms, and create a text-file (csv-format).  The only   
   way I have found that I can get hold of the data is to have Acrobat save   
   them in XLS-format, and then make Paradox read the field-values in the   
   xls-file (using Menkins library).   
   There seems to be a limit to the line-length in TXT-files (csv-files) - if   
   the line is longer than 1024 characters it will put in a line-wrap.  Is this   
   so?   
   Or is it Acrobat?
