Hi,

1.      Please excuse my English mistakes – I am a Swiss with Swiss German as
mother language.

My problem is related to using MySQL under Windows98 – I have installed
        MySQL 3.23.41
        MyODBC 2.50.38-win95

and Microsoft ADO 2.0 is used.

I often get an error “-2147217887” when a string in a VARCHAR- or a
TEXT-field should get replaced by a longer string (of course still within
the VARCHAR-length specification – which means the replacement can not be
done.
A work around is to always enlarge with spaces to a maximum length – but it’
s not really what we are looking for and it’s a problem regarding data which
has been imported from an Access database and therefore do’s not have the
spaces.

The error occurs when the content of the recordset field should get replaced
(before the update command)

I have always had the error when TEXT fields are concerned – in the case of
VARCHAR-fields it happens in some cases and others behave perfectly.

I do not see any bug from my side which could be the reason.


Can someone help me with information about this?


Many thanks
Alain Bebie
