Either the comments needs to be truncated, or the column should be defined as a CLOB. It turns out that the annotation is saved -- when the page is reloaded, the text is highlighted and the annotation text is available. -- Robert Pollina Sr. Software Engineer Azores Corp 16 Jonspin Rd., Wilmington MA 01887 978-253-6239
