Might be. I just tried q163800 and it doesn't produce error. I even added more providing the sixth field. I also tested it under VFP6 and VFP5. Both succeeded (SQLserver 2000 but I don't think as the source of problem).
Te only thing I changed in sample was breaking the continuation lines. ie: In sample it was :

b=SQLEXEC(handle, "INSERT INTO t255 (one,two,three,four,five) ;
     VALUES('abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvw', + ;
     'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvw', + ;
     'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvw', + ;
     'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvw', + ;
     'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvw')")
* And I made
   b=SQLEXEC(lnhandle, "INSERT INTO t2551 (one,two,three,four,five,six) " +;
     "VALUES('abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvw', "+;
     "'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvw', "+ ;
     "'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvw', "+ ;
     "'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvw', "+ ;
     "'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvw', "+ ;
     "'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvw')")

Didn't try the other way.

>>I don't know too. I send very long ones, they select, execute, create proc etc and all works (VFP6 SP5). Might there be a fix because I learned it can happen reading Q163800. I never experienced it on either VFP or SQL server sources.
