yeah, you got a point. ok well in my case the problem was that my script was sooooooooooooooo long that when i alterd a lot of things on it to alloq for certain actions, i overlooked on little thing, a little part of the command parameter for that particular database entry:
**********************************************
CM.Parameters.ADD(NEW OleDbParameter("@COMMENT", OLEDBTYPE.VarChar,500 ))
CM.Parameters ("@COMMENT").VALUE =COMMENT.TEXT
************************************************
if you look, you'll see that even though my textbox's maxlength value was set at 10,000, my oledb command parameter was still at 500. lol my mistakeit's easy to over look thing when your page's get to be very long. thanks
