VarBinary MaxLength property can't be set in Class-way db creation

[Erne]

Hello list,

I've submitted this report to Mantis, but I 'm using 2.3
Can you confirm it with 2.4 beta?

0001696: VarBinary MaxLength property can't be set in Class-way db  
creation
Description
I try to structure a table in a Class-way and have a VVarbinary  
property mfData

When I try to instantiate the field with it's contructor method like  
this:

mfData = new VVarBinary( "fldData", 5*1024 ) // bug is here… i define  
5k maxlength but it always is set to 40

I always get a 40 byte maximum length.

I can set successfully the property after creation like this:

mfData.MaxLength = 5*1024

but I get a Schema not matching error the next time I try to open the  
DB.


Cool Runnings,
Erne.
