In your ODBC settings for the connection, check under the "Datasource"
page of the Advanced Options (page 1) - if your Data Type Options has
"Text as LongVarChar" checked (I think this is the default), then check
and see what "Max LongVarChar" is set to below it, in "Miscellanous"
(should be set to 8190 as default) - try bumping this number up.
On a related note - I have a question for everyone else:
If "Text as LongVarChar" is unchecked, what does the Text datatype come
back as? In other words, is there some way to set the ODBC driver to
ignore any sizing constraints? Leaving it as-is, and modifying a number
to a really large value (if you don't know how big a field will get),
while it should work, doesn't seem like the optimum way to do it...
