Application Note for QuNect ODBC for QuickBase

How to Manually set the Size of a QuickBase Field

You can set the size of your text fields as presented by QuNect ODBC for QuickBase by clicking on the Customize link. Then click on Variables. Then click on Create a new variable. The name of the variable will begin with QUNECT_TEXT_SIZE_ followed by the DBID an underscore and then by the field identifier FID of the field. For example:

        QUNECT_TEXT_SIZE_bcks8a7y9_34
        

The value of the application variable should be the size you would like to specify for the text field. This application variable only effects the size of this text field when accessed through QuNect ODBC for QuickBase. This application variable has no effect on the QuickBase application when accessed through a web browser or through the QuickBase HTTP API.

You can find the DBID of a QuickBase table by reading the How to Find the DBID of a QuickBase Table application note.
