yeah, I know.. avoid at all costs.. however, for this project, there are 
a few that I can't eliminate right now

all are F240 in the tables, most are really several K in the memo file.. 
all are problematic.. "formatted memo header" errors are common

the actual content is basically a small Word or Wordpad doc.. a font, 
some bullet points, usually some bold

question.. from experience, if any, more stability if the base field in 
the table holds as much as possible, like the F240, or more stability if 
the base field in the table is just a small F10, or even F1? or does it 
not matter?
