MySQL db - data not saved

I have set up a MySQL db on one server, the IIS 6.0 on another. Using Frontpage I created some forms to input data. On a test page I made I have 4 fields. First is the ID which is autonumber (I leave alone). The second is marked as TEXT, the third is MEDIUMTEXT, and the fourth is DATE.

In the TEXT fields nothing is saved into the db. But whatever I put in the DATE field is saved. I played around a bit and found if I put in a single letter (a for example) it will be saved in the TEXT fields. If I put in "aa" it will not save.

Yet in the db itself I have no issues putting in long text phrase into the same field. Therefore I assume this is some issue on how either Frontpage created the form or the webserver is sending the data. Is there anything special I need to do to get a from made with Frontpage to work with MySQL db? I have made numerous forms to use a MS Access db without any issue.
