Hi,

I got the above error in the following query

select a.* from Table1 a where a.field1="xxx" and ;
!exists (select * from Table1 b where b.field1="yyy" and b.field2=a.field2)

I discovered the error is caused by field2 having length 254. Obviously, VFP is trying to generate an index on theis field, then discovering the key is too long. (over 240)

Is there a remedy for this? In my case I could use another field, and also use part of the field, but generally I see a problem here. And what if I had an existing query that suddenly went wrong because I lengthened a field?
