Hi, Deetra.

I believe this is probably an Access issue rather than a CF issue.
The "Description" field is probably set to "Text" rather than to "Memo".
A "Text" fieldtype in Access has a limit of 255 characters.
"Memo" fieldtype has a limit of 65,000 characters, I think.

Try setting the database fieldtype for the "Description" field
and see if that helps.

Subject: Truncating the text in my description field


Good Day,

I am using Dreamweaver MX, ColdFusion MX and Access 2000.

Using CFMX, I created several web pages using the same query with a
different "Where" clause.  When I do not use a "Where" clause, it truncates
my text in my description field.

To better explain, here is my website.
http://66.241.205.93/tmame/ministries/allministries.cfm  The
allministers.cfm descriptions are truncated.

Allministries Query
<cfoutput>
        <h3>#qGetSubMinistries.Main# </h3>
      </cfoutput> <cfoutput query="qGetSubMinistries">
      <p><span class="headingtext">#Sub# </span> <br>#Description# <span
class="boldattribute">#Leader# &nbsp;#MeetingDay# #TimeFormat(MeetingTime,
"h:mm tt")#</span></p></cfoutput>

My subministries' page descriptions are not truncated.
http://66.241.205.93/tmame/ministries/academic.cfm and any of the other
subministries are fine.

Subministries Query
<cfquery name="qGetSubMinistries" datasource="tmame">
SELECT DISTINCT Ministries.Main, Ministries.Sub,
Ministries.Description, Ministries.Leader,
Ministries.MeetingDay, Ministries.MeetingTime
FROM Ministers, Ministries
WHERE Main='Christian Education'
</cfquery>

Output from both queries
<cfoutput>
        <h3>#qGetSubMinistries.Main# </h3>
      </cfoutput> <cfoutput query="qGetSubMinistries">
      <p><span class="headingtext">#Sub# </span> <br>#Description# <span
class="boldattribute">#Leader# &nbsp;#MeetingDay# #TimeFormat(MeetingTime,
"h:mm tt")#</span></p></cfoutput>

Question.
What do I need to do to remedy this problem?  Am I supposed to use a special
setting or parameter?

Thank you for your assistance.
