OPO Mac demo version:

I tracked down one problem to what seems to be specifying a CHAR field as a link column. At best, it doesn't link. At worse, it causes "random" errors (eg one favorite is that it complains about illegal declarative statements in the application, when nothing is in the declarations section!).

Anybody else see this?
Get around this? (one way is to add it on as a src column and set it in validate).
