   Just thinking about that issue from a programming perspective... I can't   
   imagine someone would limit a field to only alphas for essentially a "name   
   field". Digits should also of course be included, and so you'd expect other   
   chars, certainly if one consulted a list of echos on the backbone. A string is   
   a string is a string which is what I'd be looking at for a "name" field.   
      
   Now maybe WILDCAT!_SUPPORT is too long.. 16 chars... do you have anyway to   
   check to see what it's storing for the area names? Eight chars are classic,   
   but....   
      
   Do you have any other areas on your tablet that are that long?   
      
   Just thinking...   
      
   Take care,   
   Janis
