Hi, I am inserting character data into a database. ADO appears to be
inserting a null-terminator on the end of the data when it puts it in the
database.

I say this because no matter what length my db field is the string I put in
through ADO must be one character shorter than the length of the field. Here
is an example of how I am setting the field values:

rs->get_Fields()->get_Item( "DO_ACCESS" )->set_Value ( var );    - var is a
char*
...
rs->Update();

Am I correct in thinking that ADO is inserting the null-terminator into the
database? If so can I change some property to keep it from doing so?

Thanks,

kirk
