I am working in Turbo8 latest release (1102). I have a column that is in 8
tables. I need to change the length for this column from text 10 to text 30.
 
I have used the following procedure for years without a problem.
 
Rename the column to Colname2 from Colname and changed the length from 10 to
30. After changing the column in the eight tables, I then go back and change
the column name from ColName2 back to Colname. This method has always worked
for me.
 
Now, each time I rename Colname to Colname2, Save and Exit does not display
a saved message and I have to do a close without saving the change. I notice
that a temporary table has been created and the change was actually saved to
the original table. So now I have to end the RBase session by using Windows
Task Manager. When I restart Turbo8, I then have to delete the temporary
table and continue on to the next column name change.
 
This is the procedure for all 8 column changes. Autochk shows no errors.
 
What causes this and has anyone has seen this behavior ?
 
Thanks,
 
Bill Eyring
