Because it forces you to look at the problem from another perspective.

Always glad to help, even subconsciously ;-)

All I am asking the search to do is return the record id and the contents of the memo field of all the records in the table. The memo field sorted alpha asc. There is no criteria specified, just get the data form every record in the table. BTW, that the memo field has some entry in every record.

Well, after writing the above paragraph, I decided to try something that I hadn't tried before - I removed the "Retrieve distinct rows only" requirement from the search action Voila! The search works correctly!!

Thanks very much for you response and BTW why does describing a problem to someone else so often turn on a light bulb over one's head??

Hi Peter,

The message refers to data handling between the ODBC driver and your database.

I would examine what values you are passing "in" to your database search criteria (to get your search results). Either from an argument, or are you using the memo field directly in a join?

Hope that helps.

Scott,

Hello all,

If the memo field contains a "small" amount of data, the WiTango search returns the data; if the memo field contains a "large" amount of data, this message is returned:

"[Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] The field is too small to accept the amount of data you attempted to add. Try inserting or pasting less data. 22001"

I have not experimented to determine what "small" and "large" are but my guess is less than or greater than 255 characters.

The message implies that I am trying to insert data too large for a field but this is a search action. Does the message refer to the WiTango search action default array, ResultSet, in which the results is placed?

Thanks for any thoughts on this problem.
