"[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver]String data, right truncation" Error

It means that you are trying to put to long of a string in the field.

no i can put long strings into the field with query analyser but not through my asp page. is it a limitation of the stored procedure or command object?

https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/20795932/Microsoft-ODBC-SQL-Server-Driver-String-data-right-truncation-0.html?query=String+data,+right+truncation+&topics=42

thanks but i've already read that link and it doesn't help me.

Have you tried ntext?

not passing it as adLongVarChar - i thought by default it would take the type defined in the SP this is the asp code:

ammended my code to include this:

.Parameters(4).Type = adLongVarChar
.Parameters(4) = sDescE
.Parameters(5).Type = adLongVarChar
.Parameters(5) = sDescC

and it works!

cheers alorentz and joeposter649 - is there any way for you to share the points?

You can use the split link at the bottom, near textarea.  Or, give them to joeposter.

300 to joeposter for the initial answer
and 200 to alorentz for being more specific

cheers both!
