Export to SQL Server Nightmare

[eldon]

Hi all,

I am having a minor but critical problem in getting data into SQL Server from FileMaker Pro 7.

I have installed the ODBC Drivers (SequeLink 5.4) from the FileMaker site and am able to get all the data over but one particular field is being trunctated to 255 characters. Now I have looked on the web and found that I need to set Max Text Length on the Advanced tab when setting up my data source. Unfortunately that tab is not present.

I have definately installed 5.4 and have checked the FileMaker downloads for another version. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I have now spent longer on this that on writing my entire ETL package.

Are you using Execute SQL? or are you using FMP as a datasource?

You can limit the length of your fields and/or use Left() to limit what gets sent with Insert or Update.
