RE: Max. length of text fields?

FileMaker Mobile 2 (feature poor)
1. option to perform a script from the database before or after sync.
2. the database has to be open. (FMSync would fire up FileMaker and the selected database, sync them and then quit.) If I have 10 databases I want to sync and they are located in different places on my drive, I have to go find them all and open them before each sync. this is a BIG missed feature.
3. not able to create a database on the Palm and sync it back to the desktop.
It makes you wonder what FileMaker Inc has been doing for the last six months. They introduced this at MacWorld SF in Jan. 2002
yes it works if you REALLY need to sync a FM database, but very feature poor.
I know the guy how started FMSync closed up shop to go to work for Apple. I guess he left his code at home.

FileMaker Moble 2 useful?
HanDBase has a ton more features and allows you to create a database right on the Palm. I use both HanDBase and FileMaker Mobile on my Palm m515.

Max. length of text fields?
What I cannot find anywhere on the FileMaker web site is the maximum size of a text field.
