[AccessD] Problem linking to an ODBC table

If I had to guess, I would say that one field in the table you are linking
to is able to contain more data than Access can handle.  Perhaps Access is
mapping a field as text when it actually contains more data than a text
field can handle (255 characters).  Or perhaps there is a field that Access
simply does not understand how to map, contains a data type that Access
simply cannot handle.  I would look at the table itself, inside of OpenEdge
and see what kinds of data the table contains.

Subject: [AccessD] Problem linking to an ODBC table

Hello,

I am using Access 2003 to connect to a Progress OpenEdge 10 database via
ODBC.
Everything is setup correctly but I am having a problem connecting to one
particular table.

Each time I try to connect to it, I get an error message that says "The size
of a field is too long."

Any ideas for a possible work around?

Thanks,
