Text overflow problem!!

JTPro

Hi all!

Default size of Customer's name is 30, but in my case it must be up to 100 characters, so I changed it. When I opened Sales Order form, and chose customer with name size greater then 30, 'Overflow text to text' error appeared. So I changed the size of 'Sell-to Customer Name' field of 'Sales Header' table to 100, but this error still shows up. I deleted controls that shows this information, and created them again, but nothing changed. Who can tell me how to solve this problem?

aaaaaaaaaaaa

Best regards

You can do this via the Developers toolkit, this way you can find out where variables are used.

Or just do a trial and error. Using the debugger. Every time you get an overflow you adjust the code until it works. :?

Maybe you can keep/create a document and post it here when you are finished.

One hint for your problem: don't forget the bill-to and ship-to names in the sales header...

Better approach:
Instead of messing around with existing standard functionality, you add a new field to the table. Instead of receiving error messages, all you have to do then is change the field reference wherever you find the need.

Problem is with name fields that they keep comming back everywhere in navision! Even worse than Item description.

Think about CRM, format address etc. Terrible :?

It is better to have a customer come back for 'another place where I can't see the long description', because then you can tell them they didn't tell you about that particular report/form/whatever.

If the system keeps erroring out though, from the customer's perspective it is always your fault because you missed a place.
