A counter field with a fixed length has become too long to fit in the field. This dialog provides 3 ways to deal with this situation.
You can do one of the following:
1. Reset the counter to 1
2. Increase the fixed field length by 1
3. Ignore the overflow
Each of these options have some implications. Option 1 may result in records containing the same counter value. Option 2 make cause the data to display incorrectly, especially in bar code fields where the reader is expecting a fixed digit counter. Option 3 will result in this dialog appearing each time a new badge is entered. It also has the same implications as Option 2.
