[AccessD] Strange limit

John,
There's got to be something with your OR clause, as the 17 is the number in the first part of your WHERE clause.  I've got some queries with 20-30 values in an IN clause, work no prob...

Subject: [AccessD] Strange limit

I am running the folliowing query:

SELECT     Column_Number, Column_Name
FROM         _DataDB101.dbo.DB101_ConsumerLayout
WHERE     (Column_Number IN ('241', '54', '64', '132', '191', '186', '133', '63', '139', '185', 
'129', '151', '201', '147', '127', '113', '261')) OR
                       (Column_Name IN ('145', '141', '187', '52', '122'))

Notice that I am asking for about 22 values in an In() clause.  SQL Server is cutting it off after 
the 17th value returned.

I never knew there was such a limit though of course there would be some limit.  17 is rather small.
