Client is asking if Customer NAME can be longer. Can anybody think of an elegent work around, maybe using scripting?

Elegant?????? You can set up a UDF for the AKA name, then pull that udf through to all the forms that you want it to print on. I don't see the need for a script.

You'd have to clone as much of the UDF to the name field too for lookups to work.

Here is where the script comes into play. Create an expanded field UDF for the customer name. Instruct the client to complete the expanded UDF first, then click on the script button (or enter if script can be automated). The script copies the first 30 characters from the expanded field to the customer name field. Client only has to enter the information once.

@JeffSchwenk That's more in the lines of what I was thinking.
