 NText data not showing in Enterprise manager

Hi.

I have a table which has an NText column.
This column contains XML data.

For some reason, some of the rows data does not appear when viewed in Enterprise Manager. If I run a select statement in query analyser the data appears (truncated), so it is there, but took me a while to realise this.

Any idea why this is so?
My guess is that there is something in some of the xml files that is causing the value to disappear. Could it possibly be that these xml files that don't show have the word "password" in them? When I did a trace to watch if the data was being inserted, the trace wouldn't show the contents of the SP call becuase the word "password" was found in the text. Could this be the same for viewing data???

Any ideas would be appreciated.

Cheers

Enterprise Manager isn't really designed for viewing lots of data so it will hide large text columns. You're best off building the viewing of data into your application if you need it.
