    OK, thanks. I have a file about 50,000 bytes and was wondering how to handle it. It would probably be easier to establish a link rather than form fit this in.

    Just FYI, sql has several text types you can use as data elements

    tinytext = 256 bytes
    text = 65,535
    mediumtext = 16,777,215
    longtext = 4 billion

    I was making a flying leap of faith that their might be a relationship. Obviously not!

    Heh, there sort of is, just the setting overrides it.

    I have to login more often. Things just keep changing around here. Great new look. Easy to read too. Great job! :)

    Schuyler, just as a suggestion, you could save it in a doc or txt file and add it as an attachment maybe?

    Also, just FYI, starting with MSSQL Server 2005, the data type VARCHAR(MAX) was introduced, which allows any sized text up to 2GB and auto adjusts in the background to store it correctly. Made it much easier.

    Ok, there is my 2.5 cents.
