Ahh now Ken, I misunderstood you regarding the writable nature of the field.

I thought that you meant "would the field be written to in future and then 
resized". Well yes written to and NO not intended to be resized, however, 
the solution you gave is actually better than I had envisaged so I'll stick 
with this
