I tried using the class browser to modify the mapper grid to give more room to the remotetype, but I think the width is either getting overridedon the the parent form or the data source is determining the width. I do see the full name int the dropdown but it is truncated after picking. May fiddle with it again ( grids are one of the things I don't miss about VFP )

If there isn't a good way to have all the c(36) nocptrans default to uniqueidentifer, I think I'll ulimately use plan B ( see my exchange on this thread iwth Kevin about changing the date type on the server side with t-sql ) but still would be cool if uniqueidentifier was an option (with the caveat that I think there is still a problem if the user chooses bulkxlmload )

REAL football started tonight <g> Any chance Tebow is going to find a home north of the border ??
