The constructed string is:

' WHERE MemberID=65776"

This create an error message:
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers error '80040e57'

[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]String or binary data would be truncated.

Believe it or not, this statement is supposedly used on the current website without problems, which (if to be believed) rules out the syntax with all those extra lines.

Is there some way of setting the allowable string length on either the ASP server (NT4,IIS) or the Database (SQL7 SP3) Server? These are two different machines.

I'm learning on the fly here (who isn't right?), and very confused.

TIA
