    Characteristic field name changes to DBFs

    Due to issues with Microsoft Access, Excel, and FoxPro with how they handle column names in DBFs (Field names with the underscore character are automatically being renamed to "Column0, Column1, ...) we have made a few changes to field names in the following tables to lessen the confusion caused by these Microsoft products and to make the fields somewhat more descriptive:

    Links to the Screenshot and the Excel spreadsheet are both found at the bottom of this post.

    These changes will take effect on the next Delivery, May 14th.

    Let me know if you have any questions.
    Thanks,
