Power Objects Question

Hi All...
At the moment I am trying to overcome a couple of short falls in Power Objects as follows:
I can't see for the life of me why you can't set the string to upper
or lower case and not expect it to put in the database as upper or lower case. (That is why you set a format mask at the front end).
2. The property DATASIZE returns rubbish...
I was trying to use the field property DATASIZE in a PostChange() method to test the size of a string entered. With a DATASIZE on a string field set to 5 the value returned was 41. To prove this point I entered the following Oracle Basic code to a click method for a button on the form.
DIM vSize AS Integer
DIM vChar AS String
vSize = CINT(fldEntry.DataSize)
vChar = "The datasize is " & vSize
msgbox(vChar)
and yes it returned 41, even stranger any number <= 41 returns 41 and any number > 41 return the the correct size.
I would have thought that if you set the datasize to a specific length Power Objects would not allow input greater than datasize.
Please can anyone comment, and please Mr Oracle Power Objects
Development Team, can we get these things sorted out in the next
version.

It is far far better to remain silent and appear a fool
then to open ones mouth and remove all doubt.
