sd1824 Posted March 10, 2006 Report Share Posted March 10, 2006 This might just be a wishlist item, but I have found times where it would be nice to get the full name of an airport added to the database. Is it possible to extend the field length so that airport names >24 characters can be added? You can enter more then 24 characters on the dialogue window, but after adding the airport, the name gets cropped to 24. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burkhard Posted March 10, 2006 Report Share Posted March 10, 2006 24 is enough. It isn't used but in the informative displays inside the editor, and making them longer makes these less readable, so you can add some abbriviations without any risk. Fixed length characters are so much faster in access than variable ones, making all of them varible would make the 3 hours process a 3 weeks one easily.

sd1824 Posted March 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2006 yes, that makes sense, especially if it means performance will suffer if the length is any longer... thanks for the info Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
