Perhaps that is a driver problem, I use DRIVER=SQL Server Native Client 10.0.

When I create a varchar(max) field the type shows as text:

ALTER TABLE TestTable ADD NewField varchar(max)
SP_Columns TestTable

it shows:

Type_Name = "test"
Precision =  2147483647

A query from VFP with the above mentioned driver shows a completely blank field, which I cannot open.

When I copy to a table, it creates a character field with length 0!
