Complex methods

Hi Ruslan,

I'm trying to implement a complex sort as several methods. But I've 
wrestled with a bizarre situation I can't resolve. I make a temporary 
method like this:

dim fld2 as VVarChar

fld2 = myDatabase.myReferences.CreateVarCharField("mySortMethod", 64, 
EVFlag.fNone, "'test'")

(this is the simplest example I can make -- the method should just 
return the word 'test').

But when I examine it (with viSQL) the method columns are empty. And 
this is what viSQL tells me about the table myReferences:

firstAuthorSortMethod VarChar[0] Method

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks,

Jon
