Has anybody got code for getting around the 254 character limit for text fields. I have a number of memo fields which will only save the 1st 254 characters.
worked great with ODBC.

What database do you use? What's the field type?
To speed up the process post your application to Demo Account and open a ticket at http://support.xlinesoft.com sending your Demo Account URL. 'Demo Account' button can be found on the last screen in the program.

the database is visual foxpro 9 and i'm using vfpoledb to access. The field type is memo but i understand that the oledb restricts the no of characters to 254.

Using the lastest driver for 9?

How are you defining these fields in ASPRunner?

I am using the latest driver. The fields are memo fields and i'm using the text area type in the editor within asprunner
