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.

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.
