Mandy, did you try changing the products_name in the products_description table to something larger than 64 characters?

Bill, Where would I find the products_description table to change that field? It's been a while since I've messed with our webstore. It's been running sucessfully for 3 years now. We recently wanted to add package deals, hence the need for a longer field name. Can you point me in the right direction for how to make that change? Thanks so much!

Thanks so much! Okay, after a little searching and thinking, I remembered how to get to the database that you are describing. I logged onto my sql server and searched for the "products_description" table and then changed the "products_name" field to 255 characters. That was the maximum that it could be set to. I've made these notes here just in case someone searches for the same need that I was having. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

Most hosts allow you to use phpMyAdmin, which is a simple interface for your MySQL database, to make modifications and even backup your entire database.
