I'm using an Excel spreadsheet as a (readonly) datasource for a low-volume
application where the user puts some choices in a page, then the action page
presents them a range of selections based on the answers to their earlier
questions. 

However one of the fields in the spreadsheet has many more than the 255
characters expected by a varchar field.

Is there a way I can ensure that the spreadsheet driver in CF will see the
additional characters in this field?   To consider it as an equivalent to
SQLServer's TEXT field type?   If not, I'm going to have to import that
spreadsheet in to my SQLServer database every time they change the
spreadsheet - not a happy thought since the app is low-importance and the
client wont want to pay for this several times a year.



Cheers,
