I have to say that I am storing much more than 255 characters in my client
variables. I am storing complex data (ie structs of structs with arrays etc)
in several different variables. The field in the (SQL Server) database is a
text field - arbitrary length.
Don't worry as long as you have set up the client data store as a database
and NOT (I REPEAT NOT) the system registry or in cookies (both of which
certainly have different storing capacities).
