I am trying to insert data through a textarea form.But, not doing exactly what wanted it do. Instead, displaying an error msg
 
Microsft Jet Database Engine(0X80040E57)
The field is too small to accept the amount of data you attempted to add. Try inserting or pasting less data.
 
Am used memo field after which i turn to text field to see if it will work. But, all seems abortive.
 
plz help.

I think I've seen this error when the data contained # or single/double quotes. You need to html encode either the entire text or just special characters before inserting in the db.

This article may help...
