We are going through the process of converting an ID field to allow character values in it. So basically converting it from an integer field to a character field.
Firstly, has anyone been through this before and have any tips or advice about potential less obvious problems?
And secondly, Is there any way to right-align a character field? This field used to be displayed in a browse as right-aligned (eg with format ">>>>>>>>>9"). But now it will be displayed left aligned (eg with format "x(10)"). If there's one thing I know about users (and there probably is only one thing), it's that they don't like change!
