I never thought you were criticizing me. I know how tricky licenses
get. I would never call vantage support and tell them I write the
database with my own applications and have replaced some of theirs
with my own. I would be black listed. I am just impatient and those
ehancement requests just seem to take forever. Keep watching I hope
to have license free .r code that will let you change the sql width
settings. Shhh! Don't tell Epicor.
