I am using SQL Server 7. This works fine from my Delphi 6 web application. But, when I access this field from my Delphi 6 desktop application, via an ADOconnection, the data entered is being truncated to a length of 255 characters.I am using persistent fields, and have assigned a size of 3000 to this field. Can anyone tell me how to get round this?

I am using ODBC to connect from this application, not ADO.

Just an idea, not sure if this can be a reason at all... "Peter Tickler" <ptickler (AT) potato (DOT) org.uk> schrieb im Newsbeitrag news:41209186$1 (AT) newsgroups (DOT) borland.com...
