Modifying a Database Field

To modify a database field, highlight the field to be modified and then click the Modify Field icon or choose Edit | Modify Field from the Database Structure Management screen.

The data type, field length or number of decimal places is modifiable. The name of the field cannot be modified. If you need to modify the name of the field, you must first erase the field then add or insert a new field.

NOTE: If there is database information in this field, it will be lost if you erase the field.
