I won't be able to try the suggestions you gave until tomorrow, but in the meantime, here is why I am not using 9.5 (64) -- Rbase Support said I was ok as is and didn't need it:
Dear Patty, You will continue to use the same version you have now. R:BASE eXtreme 9.5 (32) is fully supported on Windows 8.1, and on 64-bit operating systems.

I wonder why folks are still using 9.5 (32), unless you are stuck and are having difficulties migrating your .RB? databases and applications to 9.5 (64) .RX?, or still using the same .RB? database with R:BASE 9.5 for DOS. For the record, there are sooooooooo many advantages to using R:BASE eXtreme 9.5 (64). http://www.rbase.com/rbg95/compare.php Converting from R:BASE eXtreme 9.5 (32) .RB? to R:BASE eXtreme 9.5 (64) .RX? is as easy as 1-2-3. In any case, NAMEWIDTH setting is eXclusively for R:BASE eXtreme 9.5 (64). With the default installation of R:BASE eXtreme 9.5 (32/64), you may find the R:BASE configuration file under the C:\Windows RBENGINE95_32.CFG RBENGINE95_64.CFG In your specific circumstances, you could use the following options to obtain the correct display of your TALLY command: 01. Use the Data Browser to View the results of TALLY command BROWSE ColumnName FROM TableorViewName WHERE ... Click on the column and then right-click to select Calculate and then TALLY 02. Database Explorer | Tables | Open Table ... Click on the column and then right-click to select Calculate and then TALLY 03. Database Explorer | Tables | Open Table ... Main Menu | Calculate | TALLY .... Hope that helps!
