Gene,
It sounds like either a badly formed expression or too complex an
expression.
Although I don't know if the limits of the Expression is documented, I have
seen limits. One way to avoid these limits is to pick a "Better" operator.
For example, use the In operator instead of = if you are comparing a single
field to a list of values.
Use:
Dim view As DataView
view.RowFilter = "FirstName In ('Jay', 'Cor', 'Herfried', 'Gene')
Instead of:
Dim view As DataView
view.RowFilter = "FirstName = 'Jay' Or FirstName = 'Cor' Or FirstName =
'Herfried' Or FirstName = 'Gene')
Of course if you want to match both names, then this may not work as well. I
would consider letting your database do the selection in this case.
For information on expressions, such as DataView.RowFilter, in the DataSet
object model see the DataColumn.Expression help topic.

Thanks everyone for the reply.
What I am doing is for example trying to filter a dataset for certain
first name and last names.
So I create a dataview and filter the dataview
When I filter for forty combination it works perfectly but when It gets to
hundreds I get an error.

Dim myrowfilter as string = "Name = 'Jan' Or "
For myname as string in mytable
string = string '" & mylname & "'"
next
'remove the last Or
When it is this and blows up your program because a stack overflow I
would not even look how big the stack could be however take another approach.
However just my opinion.
