Steps to Reproduce Behavior
---------------------------
1. Create a table as following:
" CREATE TABLE test1 ( fld1 M ) " (without the quotation marks)
2. Add a record to the table as following:
" INSERT INTO test1 VALUES ( 'This is a test' ) " (without the quotation
marks)
3. Open the Debugger window.
4. In the Watch window enter "Test1.Fld1" (without the quotation marks), to
check the value.
5. Look to the right of the "This is a Text" string where you see that there are
some characters that are not a part of the Memo field.
If you change the value (Add/Delete characters) in the Memo field, from Visual
