Michael,
If the field is hidden you may have no problem.
If the field containing the database is visible, you will probably 
encounter two problems:
1. the maximum number of characters in a line in a visible field is a 
little over 65,000
2. fields with lots of characters and tabs do not display well
I switched the tabs to "|" (the shift character on top of "\" on the US 
keyboard) - much easier to see when visible.
I started a project using a field as a database and switched to a 
custom property.
The cp was obviously faster - and appears to have no limits - beyond 
the fact that it must fit in RAM.

   Everyone, thanks for the help.

If I used Fields (or tables in fields)  in a data stack that is hidden, 
what
is the limit to the number of entries from the user?


If I can figure out where to put all the data that I know will be 
generated,
I can make good progress toward the app.   Does anybody have a 
miniexample
that they can share that shows User Entry Fields going to such a TABLE 
or
FIELD WITH GRIDS&TABS.


I assume that the TABLE or FIELD WITH GRID&TABS would operate like a
traditional DB table.  Or bad assumption, too much early eggnog?

Thanks,
Michael
