I am getting problem validating views against SQL2005 databases with VARCHAR(MAX) fields. I'm really very surprised that vfp9 wouldn't recognize varchar(max) and even more surprised I've never noticed this behavior before. I'm allow that I may be doing something else stupid but I tried a very simple test
create sql table - pk, cfield1 (char(10), mnotes (varchar(max), timestamp (timestamp)
create a remote view update keyfield and timestamp.
Boom!
Is this known behavior and is there a workaround ( besides changing all my varchar(max) fields to text? )
TIA

Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.

Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.
