Re: How big should an Email address field be?

David,

AS/400 SMTP is not being used for my purposes....the "emails" (Faxes,
Voice mails, etc...even text!) are actually being sent from a different
box(s).

I do know that 24 is to short...by a lot.  I'm probably going to keep
256 in my database.  The real problem is the UI...fitting a field that
large on 5250 screens takes a LOT of space.  But, I guess we'll come up
with something.

Regards,

PS:  Any of my customers who are on Midrange-L.... please feel free to
privately email me re the above.
