I figured it out it was the mysql install not php :-) cheers for your help though :-) Vandegrift, Ken wrote:

You may want to check the my.ini setting for the table type you are using and see if there is a setting in there that needs to be enabled. I thought I read once that truncation may happen silently depending on the my.ini setting. Just a thought.

It should fail or know about the truncation at least ! Cheers for your reply though :-) Andy Instruct ICC wrote:
