This looks like a case of mixing server side and client side logic.  Try dumping the values of the variables via a JS alert() just before calling the getElementById.  See if it's what you are expecting. Shawn -Original Message- From: Tangorre, Michael [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wed

In MS SQL Server (2000), you can use the system stored procedure sp_tables. Issuing the command: exec sp_tables will list all the tables in the current database, with a column for table type (System or Table).  More details are in the online help for T-SQL. There are similar stored proc

Check your CF Admin pages.  Specifically the detailed information for you DSN.  There is an option there to restrict the size of a field to 64k characters, and is on by default. I believe this is a performance tuning setting, but can be turned off in situations like yours. Of course, this is onl
