Hi Johnny.

>If I reduce the field lenght to 120 it works fine. 121 doesn't work.

You've got the default collate sequence set to something other than "MACHINE". For other collate sequences, VFP stores 2 bytes per key characters, so the maximum length of a key is 120 characters for non-machine indexes (since 2 * 120 = 240, which is the VFP maximum).
