>All text longer than 28 got truncated.
Stan,
Before selecting and saving the records in Excel, be sure to maximize the
width of each column.

Subject: dBase 4 File
I saved some Excel data as a dBase 4 file. Both column names and data were
selected before saving in dBase 4 format. After successfully attaching the
file in RBase for Windows 6.5++, I discovered that the maximum text column
length was only 28. All text longer than 28 got truncated. Is this a dBase
4 limit, or something else?
Thanks.
Stan Loo
