I am currently working on RB WIN IDE though I have also built on the Mac and
run on Windows.

Yes, that's the one I am using.

Yep, that's right. My client program keeps a track of a sync list and then
when it has opportunity to connect to the server, it starts sending the sync
list changes across to the server. This is working well on Mac and has
previously worked well on PC. If a client has made 100 changes over the last
day or so and then connected to the server, these changes go across one
after the other.

Each file is a record sent from the client to the server and updated, added
or deleted on the server where applicable. It appears that each time I run a
brand new lot of records through on a database with no errors (I've removed
the one with the varchar error and put on a new one on - I have databases
with data already on them) then after about 40 or 50 records, the program
tells me that my assessments database has a varchar error and the server
also gets a varchar error.

These errors are not occurring at all on the Macintosh side and I am using
the exact same program on windows.

I'd love to check the project but I don't have time at this stage. I'll keep
searching today and see if I can find out any reason why this is not
working. There must be a reason!!! I really just wondered if there was a
known error.

By the way, the error ONLY occurs when I am sending information across to
the server. Working as a standalone client, the program is working with no
problems at all.
