HI,

I'm getting a error when trying to open a table that exceeds 26 columns. Is it possible to cusotmize form utility to open a table with more than 26 columns?


Thanks

You did not state how the form was created, I am assuming that form generate was used. This will only allow 26 columns because it uses a letter of the alphabet for each column.

Try using form edit, then add the the remaining columns manually using a2, a3, ..., etc.

I would need the table schema to help you further.

Here is the table schema -

create table plan

The problem is not that the table has more than 26 columns, the problem is that there are more than 26 1 character columns in the table using varchar(1). The only work around is to change them to 2 character fields varchar(2). Currently I cannot locate another workaround .

If this is not helpful you may want to contact tech support.
