Tom -

Does your view contain a left join with a table that may produce null's in the result set? I seem to recall getting this message if the first record in the result set contains a null--foxpro them makes the field width one. If the first record on a previous requery didn't have a null, then the field width will be different.

If the lookup field is 30 characters, try using nvl({field}, space(30)) in the list of fields. Note that you can't use space(len({field})); i forget why, but i think that foxpro will evaluate the length fo the field in the result set--so you're back to the first problem. hth.
