i'm trying to write/update russian text into a DB (access and SQL) from an ASP form, but there is a character limitation to the length of the string that IE browser is capable of sending and receiving (2083 characters). How is it possible to overcome this problem in order to write/read/update long texts to/from a DB using ASP?
 
When you say string, I assume you mean a querystring, as in the text following the URL.

Try using a hidden textbox on the form instead. Ie.

On the page:

<input type=&quot;hidden&quot; name=&quot;MyQuery&quot;>

In your ASP:

MyQuery = request.form(&quot;MyQuery&quot;)
 
Please use the <form method=POST> to send large data.

P/S: You may also need to enable UNICODE on your SQL in order to store Russian characters.
