field name size

[Guest]

I need to increase the field name size from 64 characters to 128. Is there a
way to do this?

You can't and should not need to do this. If your name contains data, then
you have an improper design.

This is the same answer you got when you repeatedly posted this question in
the past. Those who were trying to help you asked for more details, but you
failed to respond.

As posted, then, explain why you feel you need this and we may be able to
point out how your design could be corrected. If you continue to ignore the
requests for more details, don't get upset when people stop responding to
your posts.

My problem is that I need to create a questionnaire with questions that are
long because I will be doing a survey, and then create form from these
tables. That's way I needed to increase my field name size.

Your question is the contents of the field, not the field name.

The field names would be

QuestionNumber
QuestionText
etc.


You don't name your field the actual text of the question. Your structure
is badly flawed if you are doing that.

There are sample questionairre datbases out there. One was written by an
MVP and is called "at your survey".

Do a search and you should be able to find a link to download that database
and use it.
