Stu writes "When inputting data, all the fields are limited to a total of 8000 characters. I am inputting raw text and need to have 10 columns with around 20 chars per field and another column, which will occasionally exceed this 8000 limit. Is there any way that I can get around this without using compression, or having to set up another column Why is the limit 8000 anyway????

Thanks!"
