SYMPTOMS
The following error can occur when updating data from a memo field in a remote view to a SQL Server database table:

Connectivity error: [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server] Incorrect syntax near 'Like.'



CAUSE
You are using the 16- or 32-bit 2.0 SQL Server ODBC drivers in Windows for Workgroups or Windows NT. The error occurs because the 2.0 ODBC drivers map the memo field incorrectly to the back end data source.

NOTE: This is just one of several possible reasons for this error.



WORKAROUND
There is no workaround under Windows version 3.11. However, if you are using Windows NT version 3.51, you can install the Windows 95 ODBC drivers. This will upgrade the 2.0 ODBC drivers to the 2.5 version.



STATUS
This behavior is by design.
