Variable. If you make a text field size of 255, but only put in 4 characters,
it only uses 4 characters of space.

However don't make everything 255 characters as the wizards look at that
value when creating text boxes on your forms and reports.

Does any one know if the rows are stored in the database as fix length
record or as variable length records?
