Help!

I've got a lovely SQL table with 6 columns in it:

ID (autonumber)
DateAdded (date)
Name (varchar(100))
Description (text)
Terms (varchar(3000))
AddedBy (int)

For some unknown and annoying reason, the description field cuts off after 2085 characters, even though the text type field can theoretically hold 2 gigs worth of stuff (according to microsoft anyways). Any ideas why its doing this? It's not throwing up any error messages or anything, just quietly chopping them off.

Cheers,

Tim.
