Thanks, that article is the right "on target".
The next question is, will there be a problem getting the whole memo field back for display in the browser? I'm going to try that out this morning, if I can get the MSKB sample to work.
Thanks again!

>>Hi All,
>>We are developing ASP using ADO connection to VFP backend DBC. We need to be able to SQL-insert long ( >255 chars) strings into VFP table's memo field. Saw thread #531549 and updated to SP5, but that didn't fix our problem. The insert still fails and throws an error. Does anyone know what we're missing? How is this supposed to work?
>>TIA
