I'd appreciate help! I'm working with an Access 2000 SP# database, buitl it all myself, but with 41 fields left to create, when I try add them as columns in the table or in the design view, when I try to change field text size for some of the fields already created, I get "too many fields defined." Also-- when I did the routine for a social Security template, it only accepts all but the last digit. Does this call for an exorcism? Thaks so much.

The Maximum number of Fields that can be defined in an Access Table is 255.
I'm assuming that you have an Input Mask defined for your Social Security Field, if so the Mask(s) should be as follows:
'Stores SSANs without Symbols: 000\-00\-0000;;_
'Stores SSANs with Symbols: 000\-00\-0000;0;_
(The 2nd Parameter (0) dictates whether or not literals are stored in the underlying Table as well as the number itself.) Hope this helps...
Thanks for replying-- there are only 214 fields filled in. I'll get back to you on the SS# problem when I have a chance to work on your solution.
adEZII-
your recommended SS# fix didn't work.
And instead of counting the fields remaining, I counted the fields I've already used-- 180!!! any idea what's going on?

Re: Too many records defined! 8-digits accepted in SS#
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The social security fix you gave doesn't work. I also counted the fields I've used-- there are only 180!!! What else should I try?
What is the size of the file now? Could you run compact and repair.

how do i determine the size of the file, and how would I compact and repair?
Is it possible to rationalise the data structure ... 180 fields is a pretty fat table .. or have I missed the point.?
First 180 fields in one table is not really normal for me.
To check the file size, first close your mdb then right-click and select properties or just see it in windows explorer.
To compaq and repair: Open your mdb then goto Tools -> Database Utilities -> Compaq and Repair Database.

Thanks. It's now compacted and repaired, and I can add additional fields and modify all. I still have the SS# problem, though. One would think that if Access allows 255 fields, 180 would not be abnormal. Being self-taught has its limitations; I don't know if I would have the time for building this another way. However, if you could tell me how to get it to delete a record with an out-of-range date, it would help!

thanks for your help; I'm all set for the present!

thanks for your input. I'm doing the best I can with what I know! all set for the present.
