    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>
    Thanks<br>
    Swarup<br>
