Assuming SQL Server 7+ 8060 characters. This is the maximum number of bytes
for a row in SQL Server, so if you wanted other fields (an ID for example)
you would need to cut that size.

Just a quick one, I was wondering if anyone knew what the maximum number 
of characters is that you can assign to a column using varchar.

Oh and does anyone know how to get around the problem with SQL errors when 
a user enters the ' character anywhere on a form?


$subst('Email.Unsub').
