Max characters in datareader/dataset?

[MRW]

Does anybody know anything about a default limit of 249 characters to a
datareader/dataset field?

I'm trying to pull off a 200 word record from an Access MEMO field in a
GridView and the reader and dataset used to get it only displays the
first 249 characters.

Any help would greatly be appreciated!

No, there is no such restriction. Something else is going on that would
cause characters to be cut off.

Mmm... After some more research, I think it's something to do with the
SQL String being a UNION...

Thanks for the update!
