- I'm very new to programming in databases in general and 4th Dimension in
- general and have several questions.
-
- 1. Is there a way to copy fields? I have a few databases which
- have the same setup but only one character difference in the
- name and it would be nice to be able to just input the first
- set and then copy and modify the rest.
-
- 2. Is there a way to set up a 1 character alphanumeric field?
- according to what I've read so far, alpha fields must be at
- least 2 characters long and I need this one to only allow one
- character.

- me
