One of my users approached me today and wanted to know if there was a maximum limit on the number of characters that can be entered into an object.  He was specifically talking about Object Text, but I'm guessing that if a maximum limit applies, then it will apply to all objects.

Anyway, does anyone know if there is a maximum limit?  If so, what is the maxmium limit?

Thanks.

A quick test shows that over 30,000 characters (with spaces) can be handled. So for practical purposes there seems to be no limit.

There is a definite limit on the maximum number of characters in a string attribute.
I seem to remember that this is platform dependant. On my machine the following prints 968:

print maximumAttributeLength ""

I do not know of any limit to the size of text attributes, but I would advise against putting more than can be seen on the screen.
