    Hey,

    I ran into the same issue when I was using DB Toolkit for the first time.

    If you INITIALLY create the fields wrong (e.g. create a text field as an integer) DB Toolkit cannot fix it for you, even if you change it and save again.

    To correct this you need to have database access – MySQL, phpMyAdmin, something like that. Then you can open the database and correct the field types.

    I hope that helps!!

    @heineko thanks for the help.

    Glad you got it sorted.
    The reason for not allowing the field to change the data type is in the event of changing a field on a table with entries could loose data.
