Thanks David, I think I see -- so when you create a table in SQL 
Server you cannot have columns of CHAR-types that total more than 
8000 chars or so.  I didn't know that!  I revised a few varchar(4000) 
to TEXT fields... wait a minute... there were three 4000 varchars in 
the original table, how come it didn't say anything on creation?  

What would happen if I had that situation in some other table -- 
could it cause something like, for example, a long textarea 
submission to simply 'cut off' when sent?  Do you know if I am 
suffering serious performance issues by using TEXT instead of 
varchar?  

Also... I thought this db varchar only allowed 4000 chars.  Has it 
enlarged?  20 questions!!  I'm sorry.  Only if you've time of course.

Best Regards,
Palyne
