Subject Re: alpha type From Charlie <tm@tc.com> Date Mon, 16 Oct 2023 20:02:25 -0400 Newsgroups dbase.getting-started Hi Ken..  I actually wasn't using project explorer.   I saved a copied table in libre as .dbf.  I am thinking possibly the data source might have had something to do with this.  I do have a work around.  Thanks for your reply.
