I have a number of strings, each of which comes from a different
method and function.

I use a MSGBOX to display each string, and each shows nicely.

Then I immediately put them together using:
A = B & C & D & E & F

But all that appears when I display A is what was in B and C.

I have tried various combinations and usually only get the first two
to concatinate. The strings in total are about 10k in size only.

If I take out the odd string like D and F, it concatinates fine.

This type of problem has occured in many of my other programs. Usually
I just assign the offending strings to other strings and then add
those strings together.

What is the world would make only a few of the strings concatinate?

This is driving me crazy.

Please reply to,

Thank you so much,
Ian Vink

What version of BASIC are you using?  Every version of BASIC I've ever
seen uses +, and not & to concatenate strings.

  a = b + c + d + e + f

or more commonly:

  a$ = b$ + c$ + d$ + e$ + f$
