Here is a "screwy" question for you: is the length of the VERY FIRST item you put into this set 15 characters? I ran into a similar problem where "the first time" I opened a dataset I could enter values for any length up to the actual maximum, but after I closed the set and re-opened it (i.e, the next time the program ran), the longest item in the set determined the "maximum" length. IT TURNS OUT that in the myodbc connector/driver, there is a page of options -- you need to ensure bit 1 (client can't handle the real length) is set. Bit 2 may be of use as well, (though I can't remember off the top of my head what it is -- I just know I have it set) This "bit" of info was gleaned from an example in the anual that used an "option" value of "3" (and, of course, little explanantion as to WHY that particular option value was chosen...) Well, what do you know -- I didn't actually use one of those keywords in my message after all... --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
