I am working on a database made by someone else. I am trying to redo one of
the forms to meet our new standards of how we want to display information.
The existing field was a combo box that took data from our Job Manager table
which listed managers by their initials (up to three characters). We now want
to display the full last name and first initial of the manager. I changed
the information in the table from initials to name. Now when I try to select
a manager's name from the drop down box in the form it tells me that the
field size is too small to accept the amount of data. I checked the table and
the field is set to 50 characters, more than enough for these names. Why
can't I get it to accept the full name now? Any advice?
