But having other fields in the same table with varchar of say 4000 lengths gives a warning saying the maximum row size is execeeded and so the data might be truncated. How to avoid this problem?2. How can i use text or ntext type so that i can have a memo field like situtation. If i use text type then i cannot declare that type in the stored proc and so manipulating it is not possible. Also whenever i use 'select field name...' of that text type field then it is only showing 256 characters." |

| Your last problem is because your default setting in QA buffer starts with 256 chars. Try increasing this, although you will have to do that each time you fire QA.Menu:[Query/CurrentConnectionOptions/Advanced]Daniel Small MIAPwww.danielsmall.com IT Factoring |

| 1. i think the row size maximum is something like 8064 ish. If you genuinely need fields of this size you might be wise to house them in a table of their own.Paul |
