For now, we did end up going with something similar to what Fred
Grooms proposed.  One of the DBAs suggested changing the "int" data type to
"bigint".  Since there isn't an actual "T" table in ARSystem for a view
form, we created one, and then changed "int" to "bigint".  So far,
everything's working like it should.

Ultimately I was able to replicate the problem on another machine by
restoring from a backup and re-installing the AR System software.  I figured
out where to change the collation method in SQL, at least for an individual
database (not for the entire server). I changed this to
"Latin1_General_CI_AI" (which I'm now told is the default), but this by
itself does not fix the problem. It may be just another symptom of whatever
it is that happened - we still don't have the root cause.

Thanks to Fred and to Joe Desouza for their input!

Have a good weekend,

Bill Bookers

Length was 4 on the form for that column.
