Microsoft JET Database Engine error '80040e57'
The field is too small to accept the amount of data you attempted to add. Try inserting or pasting less data.
/foro/post_info.asp, line 1093
Is there a way around this?
Thanx,
LC

The only way around it would be to increase the dimension of the field in which you were trying to insert more data than it can store. What were you trying to insert?

This in the forum description area:

I counted the number of characters and Word counted only 171. That shouldn't cause any error because the description field can take as much as 255 chars, if I saw things as I should.
Can you take a look at your DB, FORUM_FORUM table and check the dimension for the F_DESCRIPTION field? It should be 255...

Maybe the 255 character limit is only 127 characters in a non-english character set (Access 2000)? Guessing only here :)

That's an interesting point you raise Doug. In Access 2000+ strings are stored in Unicode, so I'd guess that when you specify 255 chars that would be 255 Unicode chars, but who can be sure of that?

Also remember that that smilie will be saved as the HTML that makes it display, not the smilie code [;)]

Ok, if your forum discription has a smilie face in it like that one does, you cannot count that smilie as 4 characters [;)], you must count it as however many html characters it takes to make that smilie display. In the case of the winking smilie that is <img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle> which is 51 characters. Those count against your total.
