I'm trying to add to the description of one of the sections on our forum and get this message.
quote:
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server error '80040e57'

String or binary data would be truncated.

/montanaadministrator/post_info.asp, line 889


Don't know what I am doing wrong?

Thanks,
Lady RV

I think you get that error message when the description is too long.

IIRC, the maximum description length is 255, but I could be wrong.. no doubt Padraic or Richard can give a definitive answer.

I haven't checked but I'm nearly sure it linger than 255. Can you post your description here or email it to me at info@forumco.com ?

It was long and that is probably what it was. Same thing happens with signature lines right?

Thanks for replying.

Yes. A lot can depend on the amount of special characters in your description. As far as I know they can take four times as much space as a normal character.
