Yes, I just tried that, too. I changed the database mode to 3, changed
the length of the "name" string field to 2, and ran the application to
create a new database. Then I changed the string field's length to 3
in code, re-ran the program, and replaced the database with a new one.
Finally, I closed the the new database and re-opened it, expecting a
#525538 error -- and didn't get one.

Then I had a sudden, sinking feeling. I searched around on my hard
drive and found that I had had two copies of my database. The "New
Database" and "Open Database" dialog boxes in my app had apparently
been showing different folders (thanks to an application called
DefaultFolder -- which I normally love), and I hadn't noticed....

In short, I was dealing with two different database files.

I'm terribly sorry for wasting your time, and Ruslan's, and that of
everyone else who is still following this thread. I'll just go bury my
head in the sand now....

With thanks and apologies,
