>I have only played with the OLD-DB provider and I was able to update data. Nevertheless, I've heard that the OLE-DB provider is extremely sensitive. For example, if the value to update is larger than the field size the OLE-DB provider will choke (rather than truncating the value or telling you that the value is too big for the field.)

Hector;

To prevent this type of problem I use code like this for an ASP page:

<input style="HEIGHT: 20px; 
			LEFT: 760px; 
			POSITION: absolute; 
			TOP: 5px; 
			WIDTH: 70px;
			FONT-SIZE: 9pt;" 
			id=txtLogNumber
			name=txtLogNumber
			value="<%=oRS("lognumber")%>"
			readonly
			maxlength="<%=oRS.fields("lognumber").definedsize%>">

The same concept can be applied to other languages also.
