    can't connect to database if textbox is over 255 characters

     Hi guys,

     

    i'm just curious - is there a way to disable infopath's ability to limit textbox character limits when connected to a database?  Currently I'm only able to connect to a database if I manually create a connection using code, otherwise if I use a connection created using the wizard, I can't submit anything over 255 characters.

     

    thanks!

    That is the limit with InfoPath out of the box data connections.

    Instead of custom code you can also use our DBXL (database acclerator) tool to submit your data to a DB without the 255 char limitation:

    Integration with DB's can be time consuming, DBXL will really make your job a lot easier than custom code or the built in data connections.
