This article was previously published under Q269404



SYMPTOMS
When you run a pass-through query, the last character is truncated.



CAUSE
This problem occurs when the length of data is a multiple of (n * 255) + 1, where n is an integer equal to or greater than 1. For example, the length of data is 256, 511, 766, and so on.

In the Microsoft Jet database engine, if the data size of the result of a pass-through query exceeds the reserved buffer size, Jet expands the buffer size. However, Jet does not expand the buffer size correctly when the data size of the result equals (n * 255) + 1 bytes.
