Hi David,

In the view designer. They are very simple views.
Usually if the views are complex I create them in the designer and then "tweak" them in code, but these are very simple.

UseMemoSize is at default -> 255

Now that you mention CREATE SQL VIEW, I haven't tried changing the field properties programmatically.

An odd thing is that, even though VFP sets the field to char(20), I can still enter more characters in the field and it updates perfectly against the base table in the SQL Server. But I don't want to rely on that behavior now to find out later, in production, that it is truncating.

Thanks in advance for your help.
