Folks, Does anyone know when can the value in syscolumns. collength column be negative (<0) and is there a way to reverse engineer the fol. formula to find the min_space and max_space so that it can be programmed: If the collength value is -ve then collength + 65536 = (min_space * 256) + max_size Thanks for all your help. -- Rajiv Jhaveri rjhaveri@optonline.net
