This is one of those cases where supplying more information might help to answer your question.
My guess is that your connection is telling VFP that the size of the character fields are not the same as they were before. This is caused by the default behavior of the MyODBC driver (mine, anyway, version 2.50.39, dated 2001-09-18). In the ODBC manager, you need to check the checkboxes for "Don't optimize column width" and "Pad CHAR to full length."
Both Bob Lee (Mar 2002) and Dan Jurden (Feb, Mar, Apr 2004) had excellent articles in FoxTalk on using MySQL with many other recommendations for best practices.
If that doesn't solve your problem, you should be able to supply us with more information (versions, platforms, OS's, code for connection and view) to narrow down the problem.
