Re: Connection with another site WebForm Size limit

Yes - but you can avoid it if you are on V6 or later by using the *Data parameter on the %Addr BIF.

E.g. If %Addr(varyingField) gives a pointer value of 1, then %Addr(varyingField: *Data) would give a pointer value of 3 or 5 depending on the length of the varying field.
