Poll Mod Version: 2.0.5
Current Author: Davio
Have just finished editing code and uploading revised and new pages to my site. Everything seemed to be going well with the install. Great mod, by the way, with very good documentation. However, when I attempt to post my first test poll I get the following error message:
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.
/forum/post_info.asp, line 996
It seems that the response options (Choices) are not being written to the database. The poll does show up in the forum as expected but there are no Choices to click on.
FUnny, but when I click on "Active Polls" this test poll does not appear. It says that there are not Active Polls. Also, When I attempt to edit the poll through the Forum link (pencil icon) the resulting screen says that what I'm trying to edit is not a Poll.
Obviously I've either messed up some of the code or skipped over something, but have no idea what. Has anyone seen this before? If so, what do I need to do in order for the database to accept my entries? I've even tried one-word poll questions and responses but even those aren't accepted.
What do I need to do to get this mod working properly?

Post a link to a txt version of your post.asp and post_info.asp file.
FYI, the latest version of the poll mod is 2.0.6 (should be 2.0.7 but I am having some problems uploading it to SnitzBitz at the moment). |

BTW, when I get my current issues settled what are the advantages to udateing to 2.06 (or even 2.07 when uploaded)?
More bug fixes. And some extra features. 
I'll take a look at your files. |

Try using this file: post.zip
I made some edits your file. You had some extra poll mod code that shouldn't be there.
Let me know if it works. |

Davio,
Thanks!
The edits you made seems to have done the trick. The Poll is now working as expected. Thanks again for your very fast and efficient response.
How will we know when the new version (2.0.7) is available for download? Will there be instructions for upgradeing from 2.0.5? Looking forward to the new features.
