<br><font size=2 face="Courier New">Well I count 258 characters in the data, so the error message is totally on<br>
the mark (odd for Access<g>).<br>
<br>
I suspect that SQL server is passing back all 258 ASCII characters, which is<br>
why A97 chokes. But A2K is Unicode character savvy, so I think it can handle<br>
510 ASCII characters, or 255 Unicode ones.<br>
