Hi Rob, I have not come across this issue personally and it seems that nobody on the list is able to help. After reading KB189897 it sounds very likely that it's something to do with the ODBC driver, but maybe I'm missing something.
I guess your next options are to post on the MSDN Forums or raise a support call. The forum you'll be after is: http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowForum.aspx?ForumID=479&SiteID=1 And to contact PSS in Australia, call 13 60 30. Good Luck!

Hi there, Here is the problem. I am trying to migrate data from my old problem tracker database into TFS using the following steps: - Create Excel Spreadsheet 1 with ODBC connection to old problem tracker database to grab all required data - Create Excel Spreadsheet 2 with a connection to TFS with all required fields - Copy all required data from spreadsheet 1 to spreadsheet 2 - Publish data in Spreadsheet 2 into TFS This process works beautifully, apart from one reasonably major problem. Data within fields are being truncated to 255 characters. The data in question is fine in the ODBC connection, so it is not the issue laid out in MSDN support article http://support.microsoft.com/kb/189897/. I can also manually enter data in a TFS-Excel field greater than 255 characters. The issue is only in the copying process. What is going one here? Does anyone have any fixes? Does anyone have any suggested workarounds?
