SYMPTOMS
========
Using the LIST STRUCTURE command on a table that has long field names and that
is part of a database, results in a truncated list of field names. The full
field name, as it appears in the database, does not display.
CAUSE
=====
The LIST STRUCTURE command looks at the underlying table, not the information
contained in the database.
STATUS
======
Microsoft is researching this behavior and will post new information here in the
Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
