Hi again all, got another Question for all SQL Gorus.

I was wandering if anybody know what the largest Datatype in SQL 2000. I am asking because I developed a form and i need to put a substanial amount of data in a description field. However it is not giving me all of the text i put in there. Please help if you can.

Thanks
Danny

If Varchar(8000) is not big enough you will have to use the Text Datatype but this is slow to query. Use Varchar if you can.
