Depending on your database a standard character field can hold up to 4096 characters. With Oracle as the database we routinely have fields of 1000 or 2000 characters.

I need to create some field which can hold data of length 500 or 1000, can we use character field for this and change input length from 255 to 500/1000? or Diary fields are the only option?. Please let me know if some one has done this. -- Regards, Renjini _______________________________________________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE or access ARSlist Archives at www.arslist.org Platinum Sponsor:[email protected] ARSlist: "Where the Answers Are"
