In MSEgui tmsestringfield.size is the maximum allowed character count for the field. 0 = no limit. tmsebufdataset stores string data as UnicodeString instead to use a fixed record layout. With some databases it is a little bit tricky to get the field size in characters instead in bytes. In case you don't know MSEgui:
