Hi,

   I was looking at the example in "beginning ASP databases", which uses

getChunk with a loop (pg 521).  I am assuming that the code is to show how

to use getChunk.  But I have a question.  I have a similar problem.  I

have a memo field in the from.  The memo Fieds is pretty long.  The user

usually type 1 or 2 pages of text.  Can I use

objparm2.value = request.form ("memoFeild") for that large a text. 

MemoField is defined as text in SQL database.  Is there a pro and con not

to assign the long text value directly to parameter value?

The limit to string length was given in another thread recently, and is very

large.  There should be no problem with this.
