Limitation of 1023 Characters

I am using ASP to query a SQL Server 2000 database.
Whenever I try to insert large pieces of data (column is
declared as varchar), the data allowed is limited to 1023
characters. I have installed SP3, and still the same
error. It is not down to any syntax in the cell as trying
to insert 1024 instances of "b" (bbbbb etc. etc.) will
error on the insertion of the 1024th. I am sure this must
be a configuration conflict somewhere.
Anybody out there able to help me rectify this?
Many thanks

you are using conn.execute sqlStatement, use response.write sqlStatement
instead, and show us the result).
Also, the exact error message might be helpful.

entering my data through Enterprise Manager, which I'm
guessing can't accept more than a byte of info (1,024
chars a bit of a coincedence). Entering the data through
INSERT statements in Query Analyzer works upto 4000 chars
which is fine. This however causes a slight problem...is
there an easier way rather than creating custom insert
statements for each record? Otherwise, I'll just create a
basic admin area interface, and insert the code through
submitted form values (textareas).

Don't do that! Enterprise Manager should be used for management, not data
entry.
