Uh, the ship class name that did it was North Carolina Geological Jump Survey Ship Class.

That before I knew the hull class didn't need to be added apart of the class name.

MrWiggles, What the heck are you doing with 50+ ship names?  You might consider giving up using haiku as your naming scheme.  :-)

John

Whats the character limit on input fields?

I've ran into spill over errors when I named a design or ship a name that is to long, or gave myself a stupid amount of research SP.

Also, if you name a ship class name to long it makes the ship unplayable.
Most of them will probably be 50 characters as that is the default text field size in Access,

Steve, does the input field clip at 50?  If it doesn't you should probably do so.  Databases don't like it when you try to stuff a ten pound sausage into a five pound bag.
