Import cuts off at 312 characters max

[Ian Vee]

I'm importing from an OBDC data source (MySQL), and I'm sure that the data in many fields is longer than 312 characters on the server, but for some reason, when I import FM7 is only grabbing a maximum of 310-312 characters and then cutting off with every field.

I've checked the field definitions in FM7 (text) and validations (none). I don't know very much about the server I'm pulling from (it's our website hosting company, and I'm trying to pull back the data I posted there using a browser).

Is this most likely an FM7 problem, or could it be restricted from the other end?

I'm going to answer my own question here, since I just solved it.

Silly me: Everything works fine from our XP machine here. It's just the Mac OS X machines that have a driver that restricts the amount of data that can be imported into any one field (I guess it's the wrong driver--full compatability is not supported). It's funny that everything else worked so well with the wrong driver.
