Thanks for the suggestion, Fred, but it is only putting a 11-char value into a 255 char field.
I found that if I did an unqualified search on the "Read Value for Field From:" form I got the same error. So there must be a bad record in the form. I also found a problem in my "Set Field If:" selection, and when I changed it the problem went away. So I think I was trying to select a bad record that I didn't really want anyway.
