[dba-SQLServer]Listbox truncating stored procedure data

Susan,

Access has limits on character string length.  Your strings may be
exceeding one of these limits.  All Access objects do not have Long
Integer, or even Integer, position counters.  Some only have a byte
length counter.

I have a listbox whose recordsource is a sproc.  The sproc works fine
even when run from Access.  The listbox has an invisible column that
contains a long text string, up to a couple of paragraphs in length. The
listbox is only holding the first couple of lines even though the sproc
returns the whole thing.  I can work around this by getting at the data
in another way, but I'm wondering if this is a bug of some kind?
