I've tried that and have been able to get to 225 charachters.

There's got to be an easy way, but I seem to be missing it. :(
 
Oh, using MSSQL also

You need to change the SQL Server database field type to something like nText or Text to allow larger amounts of data.

However, the larger fields do make your database work harder and so can effect performance.

Maybe a dumb question here, but like I said, I'm new to MSSQL. ...
 
I "think" I found where to change it in the DB...

[Signature] [nvarchar](255) NULL,

Do I change it to (for example)
[Signature] [nText](1000) NULL,
 
And then save and "Run" the query again?
Will this keep the data already in there?
I can't afford to delete what's already there.

Yes change the [nText] you will not loose any data as the field size is increased.

I tried changing the line to
[Signature] [nText](1000) NULL,
and then executing, and get the error...

Msg 2716, Level 16, State 1, Line 1

Column, parameter, or variable #20: Cannot specify a column width on data type ntext.

So I know I'm doing something wrong. :)

(Access was so easy :(, SQL is rough)
