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.

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!
