Depends on the data format. Are you using Shapefiles to store your information? If so, I think the maximum width is 254 characters. If you have something smaller than that right now, you might need to add a new column with the max width and then copy the data from the old column (field calculator). If you need more than 254 characters you'll need to save to another format that supports that. I don't have any recommendations since I'm not sure how you plan to use the files later. -Alex _______________________________________________ Qgis-user mailing list [email protected] List info: http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-user Unsubscribe: http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-user
