Increase field size AND linked tables

I would like to increase a field size to allow input of up to 16 characters
versus the current 11, but the message is that I can't do the modification
due to linked tables. I believe the modification must be done at the server
,
but I wouldn't know where to start. It would seem that it should be an easy
fix if someone could point me in the right direction. I hate to call the
tech guys out to open a couple windows and type 16. The database was done i
n
access converted to SQL.
ThanksDear rtucker913,
Please post DDL or any example which clarifies your request.
Thanks in advance,
