Hello Jaroslaw, <br>
I was so happy to hear your good news. I opened my Kexi table, went
into design view, and increased the maximum number of allowed
characters for each of my fields of type "text", from 200 to 1000.
Went again clicked on the tab to switch back to data view, I got the
below message. On the basis of the below, I had to discard the
changes I had made, by clicking on "Discard design". You wrote below
that this problem was fixed a long time ago. Are you sure about
that? Or if there is another way to do this aside from what I did,
please let me know.<br></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:monospace,monospace;font-size:small">Swarup,</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:monospace,monospace;font-size:small">I double checked and I see I had no data in my test table, that's why I observe different message.

<div bgcolor="#FFFFFF"> I am using Kexi Version 3.1.0. In
earlier versions it was the case that if one were to go
into design view and change the settings, such as the
setting for the number of characters allowed in each cell,
the program would delete all the data in the table. Is
that still the case? </div>

<div style="font-family:monospace,monospace">Thanks for the
question. For quite long time already (3.0?) KEXI does not
require removal or recreation of the table if modified

<div style="font-family:monospace,monospace;font-size:small">Also
no worries here. If removal or recreation of the table is
required KEXI _always_ tells you that and asks for
confirmation prior to the change. You then have the
opportunity to abandon changes made to the project
recently.</div>
