Hi,
I need to change the Name field in the Chart of Accounts table from text 30 to text 80.
Is there an easy way to find what else I need to change when I make this change?

thanks in advance!

    In the Hungarian Localisation, there is a 200 field there called "Long Hungarian Account Name". It only appears on one report (trial balance). I would suggest for you too to create a new field.

    The algorithm is the following:

    1) Users demand a longer field.
    2) You create a longer field instead of changing that one, and add it to f.e. report trial balance.
    3) User realize it doesn't fit, and eats the space where one would print balances, net changes etc.
    4) They realize it's better to use the 30 char field :)
    Do It Yourself is they key. Standard code might work - your code surely works.
