Thanks, Dave

I was really looking for the datasheet  field which was apparently  
set to 51 feet tall....and couldn't find one. The only odd field was  
that Picture field. Using your formula I only found one match to the  
search sizeof("Image") greater than 0. My superflashart form opened  
the image fine, so I still don't have a problem. Perhaps the original  
graphic in that field was huge when I copied it to the Flash Art  
Scrapbook, but it is doubtful that I was able to copy an image which  
was that tall.     ;-)
