Hi,

For the moment i am creating an ASP-guestbook.
All the entry's will be placed in a Microsoft Acces Database.
But that's the problem, Acces has i character limit of 255.
Is there way to get around this?????
How can i force the sized of a column to 1000??

Please E-MAIL me!

You are mistaken. Only _Text_ fields have a 255-character limit. You can store
text in a _Memo_ field and store up to 64K characters. You can store it in an
_OLE_ field, using the OLE field as a Binary Large Object (BLOB) and have an
essentially unlimited size.
