Instead of: SELECT varchar_field FROM table Try: SELECT convert(text,varchar_field) FROM table There might be a more efficient way but this has always worked for me... -zeb -----Original Message----- From: Ron.Herhuth@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:Ron.Herhuth@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Wednesday, July 28, 2004 8:37 AM To: php-windows@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Truncating data Hey! Okay I have a simple script that is nothing more than a query run against a Microsoft SQL Server database which returns a VARCHAR(2400) field to display in a text area field for user modification. The problem is that even though all of the data exists in the database, when it is displayed in the Textarea not all the data is there. I've taken care to make sure that all quotes are taken care of and things like that, but it still truncates the data. This is driving me nuts...any assistance would be greatly appreciated!
