There appears to be an inconsistency in the length of the UniqueID that can be used for a matrix column.
For an Addon in 2005 I have UDFs whose name is 12 characters long (including the U_), when appearing in matrix on a system form the system uses the UDF name for the columnID.
However if I try to do the same thing when adding a column to a matrix on a user form I get error -7013 'The string value entered is too long; it should be less than 10 characters [66000-14]'.
Mirroring the UDF name as the column Id allows me to have generic code with out the need to jump through hoops to aling columns and field names.
Is this a known issue for which there is a fix available?
Hi Graham,
It's a known issue but I'm not sure if a fix will be provided (it's a 'by design' feature and not a bug). I tested this in SBO 2007A and you still cannot have a matrix column in a user-defined form with a unique id of more than 10 chars.
Unfortunately, you'll need to code a workaround or reduce your UDF sizes to 10 characters.
Also, if you haven't already done so, I'd recommend you create a suggestion on the development collaboration forum:
