Wonderful, Ok, the question now is... 6.5++ that is out now. How long is the limit there. (I have this trouble with the last 6.5++ beta as well). Some of my tablenames are18 characters, and columnnames as well come close to that length. Trying to figure if it would just be easier to pay the upgrade price. (was going to wait for 7 to come out) Dan
