And no one now believes that perhaps DP might not be up to the task here? Any database application that actually limits the size of the data (or even the number of fields) permitted has got a real problem. With disk sizes on home PCs reaching the terabyte threshold, there should be literally no ceiling on the amount of data permitted. The one problem that may still exist, however is the need for power and speed to index all this data. DataPerfect is lacking in all these aspects.
DataPerfect is a fantastic program, no doubt. But these work-arounds, schemes and tricks required to do what should be simple, straight-forward functions makes DP outdated. Jerome R.

In this case, I need real data, because after bringing the old address through to the Address Management panel, I will be changing the address in the main panel. As I need to preserve the old address, I don't think this scheme would work. Thanks again. Charlie Rick Parry wrote: Hello Charlie, It has been a long time since I've seen this one. There is a limit in the amount of data that can be used in the link. If my memory is still good it is in bytes. I believe it is 128 bytes of data. I really would recommend using calculations to bring through data that is not part of the unique key. Take care, Rick ----- Original Message ---- From: Charles G.

Fields 1-6 in the Link Key Field List come through fine, but 7-10 do not. The index selection matches the first 10 fields exactly, and in order. There are 12 fields total in the index. I've been looking through all the documention I have, including Ralph's book, but I can't locate the source of my problem. Thanks.
