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>

<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>

no worries here. If removal or recreation of the table is
