I am having problems with Cross Reference Indexes in one file of my database. I have looked through the Online Discussion and found the Rick Todd seemed to have the similar problem. Aaron Kaplan suggested that he increase the dictionary length of the the master key. Unfortunatily, I have no idea how to do it. I need instructions.
Please respond. Thanks Howard.

Howard:
:DICT filename fieldname
At the field length prompt near the bottom of the window, change it from what it is (probably 10) to something larger. Piece of cake!

Are you referring to the Display Length of the Prompt in the Dictionary Window?

Yes, that would be it.
The trick isn't related to the data field as much as it relates to the key field, and it has to be the key field defined as 'master'. You can see this from the LISTDICT popup.
