>I am trying to reteive and text from a Text data type field using Ado.net (and vb.Net). But all I seem to be getting is an integer value. Is there a special trick to retreiving it? And once I get it, and edit it, how would send it back to the server to save?

Can you post some code?

Also, may be it's better to switch to varchar(max) instead of Text?
