I have an immediate need to increase the character limit for one of the custom fields.   I have taken some steps to try and increase this for my needs but I need some clarification becasue it is still not working.

1. What I have done is change the EditEvents.ascx and added a multiline textbox:
   <asp:textbox id="txtCustomField2" TextMode="multiline" rows="3" runat="server" cssclass="NormalTextBox" width="250px"  Columns="30" maxlength="500"></asp:textbox>
2. Next I changed the DB Tables Events & EventsRecurMaster column   CustomField2 to nvarchar(MAX).
3. Then I changed the Events stored procedure, EventsSave  so that CustomField2 (nvarchar(500), Input, No default)

So far with the changes I have made the field still truncates to 100 charaters.   Any suggestions or ideas?
Thanks!

I'm hoping you guys can provide some advice.  I'm trying to change the customfields in the events module.  I changed the value of customfield1 in Admin - Languages App_LocalResources - settings.ascx to my custom name.  After update, it is changed in the languages section, but when I go to the events module, it's still shows up as customfield1.  Are there some additional steps to make the change show up?  

Thanks, Tom 

That worked!  Thanks Roger!

Solution:  Admin - Languages - Local Resources (left hand column) - DesktopModules - Events - App_LocalResources - settings.ascx and change the Custom1 and Custom2 text to new text.  Click update and also save the file at the bottom of the page.  Also need to change the Custom1 and Custom2 fields in SharedResources - there are two places where you need to do this.

Cheers
Tom
