Off-topic - this is an IB Objects question, which you have cross-posted.

If you are using a 1-byte character set with its default (binary)
collation, the limit is 253 bytes. If you can't reach past 240, then it
will be one of "the index is compound" or "collate sequence is non-binary"
- both eat up some bytes from the limit.

ibobjects list is the right place for IBO questions.

of the box" with client/server. Different architectures, different UI
designs...
