I assume you mean MS SQL Server 7.0?
If so, making the field type 'text' should give you something like
several gigs per field. If you make them 'varchar', you're limited
to 8000 chars.
If I recall right, CF needs to be gently tweaked to enable large text
retrieval. Out-of-box, I think it's limited to 65536 chars. Don't
quote me on that, tho...
In any case, making the field type 'text' will give you essentially
unlimited storage (up to available drive space). If it's an issue,
and you need to know the exact size limit, I can look it up for you.
I'm just too lazy to go get the book off the shelf & look right
now... Suffice to say it's a LOT.
Best regards,
Zac Bedell
