Multiline Textboxes and SQL question

HarveySpecter

I had a quick question about multiline textboxes. What’s the max number of characters they can hold? Also, since I’m using SQL to store the data, will setting the SQL text field to the max allow me to store up to 4000 characters?

Hi there,

 

Thank you for participating on our forum! There is currently no limit for the max number of characters that a multiline textbox can hold.

 

If you set the max text length on a string field in a custom data structure, it will be stored in SQL as nvarchar(MAX). That type can hold up to 2,147,483,647 characters (2³¹ − 1).
