Warning about FORT database

As I found out the hard way yesterday, each record (topic) only holds
about 40 message numbers. If, while entering your data into that
table, you find a record which looks full, DON'T ENTER YOUR MESSAGE
NUMBERS THERE. Instead, create a new record along the lines
of "(Topic name)--part II" and put your numbers into that one.
I made that mistake yesterday when I entered my "Casting" messages.
I typed them in where they numerically belonged. After saving the
record, I found it had truncated not only some of my own message
numbers, but also those that came after mine!
Don't worry, Penny. I've made a new record called "Casting--Part II"
and re-entered your message numbers there (good thing there was a
backup). Anna, if you've already put in any casting messages in the
5951-6300 range, I'll hunt them down and re-enter them.
Thank you for your patience. I just wanted to mention this before
anyone else made the same mistake.
Melanie
