Hi,
I wanted to test the VARCHAR(MAX) type with SPT approach in VFP 9. I added a test field to one of the tables, type, VARCHAR(MAX). Then on a form I added an EDIT BOX and bound it to the cursor created by calling the SQL Server with SPT. Then I edited the entry in this edit box and saved it. Everything works. I close the app and reopened it again and the value I typed is in the field.
So I suppose even though VARCHAR(MAX) is not 100% compatible with the ODBC it works on saving the data, correct? I am just trying to see if I can use VARCHAR(MAX) instead of TEXT and get away with it.
