A user is trying to put up a very simple poll. When he tries to put it up, he gets the error message below. Any idea why? He's been trying for 2 days.

---------
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server error '80040e21'

Multiple-step OLE DB operation generated errors. Check each OLE DB status value, if available. No work was done.

/forum/new_post.asp, line 809
----------

He tried on chrome and IE. On a desktop and a laptop.
Other regular users do not have any pb publishing polls.

Thank you so much for any help.

We upgraded to latest version of the forum about a year ago.

The only reason I could think why you got this error is if to much data is being entered for one of the Poll Choices.

Check your SQL Server database that in the table 'tblPollChoice' that field 'Choice' allows a minimum of 80 characters.

Although no changes have been made to the Forum Polls in the last year there have been three releases in the last year which have added new features and fixed various bugs. The page below has the new features and bug fixes of the various releases:-
