Is the maximum field size for USERFIELDS 254 ?? I seem to remember that FoxPro had a 254 limit some time ago, just wasn't sure if it still is.

Thanks,

I have so much data in the log now that I'm approaching the default character limit for USERFIELDS. Is 254 the limit?? Is there a max it can't exceed??

Thanks, de Brad, N8GLS

G'Day,

Yes the limit really is 254. Its a limit imposed by Visual FoxPro and the way the data types are defined. It cannot be increased.

Dennis removed any extra spaces from the "separator" some time ago.

The only way to get as much data in as possible is to abbreviate the data for each user field - that is keep the user names themselves small, and the data abbreviated as much possible if you have control of the data.

PFX:VK4 not PREFIX:VK4
RIG:KW4800 not RIG:KENWOOD-4800HX

You can rename a user fields easily in Tools, Setup Log Fields, and shorten any user data you have control over by using Tools, Advanced Database Commands to change the data in all instances of a user field.

Also use a LOG Filter and Edit the filter to LEN(ALLTRIM(USERFIELDS))>240, and Count records, to keep any eye on any QSOs that get close to the limit.

Peter,

I thought it was but just wanted to be sure. Already had done the other tips some time ago.

Thanks,
