Thanks. I kind of thought (hoped) that was the case but wasn't sure.

But I do have a related question RE #1. Since the field will on taken as much space as needed to store the actual data given to it, what would be the purpose of assigning a small value to a column? It seems like that would easily open you up to having the field run out of space should you underestimate the amount of space needed.
