Hi,
I am trying to insert data into an Excel sheet using Microsoft Jet OLE DB
4.0 driver. One of the fields is exceeding 255 characters. I get the error:

"The field is too small to accept the amount of data you attempted to add.
Try inserting or pasting less data"

This is surely not a problem with Excel since I put in the data manually.
Please let me know if we have a solution/workaround for this.

Thanks,
Pranav.

I believe you are encountering an issue with the Jet provider. See if the following helps:
