Re: Alter column length

Thanks again Tom...

that.

Tom, I'd like to truly thank you for the time you put in on the list. Every
question I have regaurding and internal issue or something to that nature,
you consistently respond quickly and correctly. That is truely something
that is admirable! And I'm sure I'm not alone in my feelings of
appreciation.

Thanks!!!
