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.
