Sorry...not clear what you are asking for here...are you trying to change the character limit for the ILC field or something else? It looks as though both the ILC as well as Alias lookup fields are limited to 25 characters. Most barcode formats commonly used in the US are less than 20 characters...what format are you using?

acvm, You can change the database structure to allow for longer ILC. RMS will even allow you to fill in a longer ILC once the database has been modified. Please be warned that there are unexpected side effects, mainly in the POS. And also be warned the Microsoft will not support changing of the structure of the database.

Ryan,

Thanks. You are correct. My point / problem is the following: I am a small new re-seller / details sales. The services through the authorized dealer (in Puerto Rico) is very expensive. If you could help me thus be guiding me / providing me document, guides or place (site), i believe that i can make the changes. Were able you to help me in that sense?

Thanks in advance. acvm

My apologies, but the scope of this is beyond my ability to help with over the forums. But I can offer you a big pointer. Download and install SQL Server Management Studio Express, which is a free download from Microsoft and works with SQL 2000 and SQL 2005. Using this tool you can easily modify the schema of a database. If you need more help, the Microsoft Books Online are really good regarding SQL here is a link: Transact-SQL Overview.
