ERROR [HY104] [Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver]Invalid precision value

[jwtulp]

Hello all,

I receive the following error when updating MSAccess2003 Memo fields
using an ODBC connection in ASP.Net 1.1 when the length of the text to
be updated exceeds 255 characters. Everything works fine when the
length of the text stays below 255 characters. Does anyone have a
clue?:

this.PersonUpdateCommand.Parameters.Add(new
System.Data.Odbc.OdbcParameter("description",

The field in the MSAccess2003 database is called description, and is of
type Memo
