Well, thanks a lot. But my problem was another. I wanted to access a Memo 
Field in a database without using visual components (like TDBMemo). I cannot 
access it using "Table1.FieldByName('Memo Field').AsString" because I obtain 
nothing. I think I can use the GetTextBuf in this case, too. But I don't know 
how. Have I been clear?
Bye bye!
  Nicola
