Field is being clipped to 7 chars

[Mike McLoughlin]

Has anyone seen this?  On a form I prime a GUID field (string 16) and it shows OK as 16 chars when the form opens.

But when I save the form it gets shortened to the first 7 chars.  The picture looks to be set OK:

  If p_web.IfExistsValue('UPL:GUID')
    p_web.SetPicture('UPL:GUID','@s16')
  End
  p_web.SetSessionPicture('UPL:GUID','@s16')

The GUID field is the unique unchanging key field - could this be part of the problem?

Hi Mike,

No, I've not seen this. However, what characters are in the GUID string?
Some characters need to be encoded if you use them on a web page.
There are functions to do this (and it should happen automatically) but I presume it has something to do with this.

Its a GUID generated by Replicate so some of them are "unprintable".

Could this be the cause of my other browse freezing???

It's certainly possible, depending on which version of Replicate you are using, and when the guid was created.

I presume you're on a very recent NetTalk build?

I'm on 4.34

I modified the original replicate routine to restrict the range of allowable characters. But it looks like it will have to be made even tighter for web use.
