There is a BDE parameter for the maximum length of blob fields which can be changed.

Subject: [DUG]: Storing long memo fields
My application has a notepad for storing case managers notes. Once the
notes reach about 60k in length, the dbmemo refuses to accept any more.
This appears to be a shortcoming in the dbmemo rather than the database. If
I change to another component (e.g. wptools) I can enter more text, but then
receive the error "Invalid Blob Length".
I can compress the data, which solves the blob length problem, but then of
course my report package cannot read the data. I could then write a report
using Quick reports (so I can decompress the data again), but I suspect the
QR text component suffers from the same shortcomings as dbmemo, leaving me
where I came in.
I am using Delphi 4 Professional connecting to MS SQL 6.5 via ODBC.
Any assistance gratefully received.
