jeff 5/25/2013 4:43:29 PM | Got it.
The RestrictTrackList and AvoidTrackList fields in the Profile table shipped with the ORIGINAL JCapper.mdb files were limited to 50 characters of text.
Several years ago, in one of the JCapper program updates, I expanded those fields from the original 50 characters to 255 characters - the idea being to enable use of much longer track lists while operating in PlayList File Mode.
Note: In SQL Mode, no such limit exists. (Your track lists can be as long as you want them to be.)
A few weeks ago, at my request while looking into a problem unrelated to the one you are reporting in this thread, you had emailed me a copy of your c:\2004\JCapper.mdb file. (I still have a copy of that file sitting in your customer folder.)
Taking a look at that file - I can see that it is from a MUCH older program version.
I'm guessing "the field is too small for the amount of data you attempted to add" messages you are experiencing are caused by trying to use track list(s) more than 50 characters in length with an older version JCapper.mdb file that doesn't allow for that.
Tell you what...
If you'll shoot me an email with a copy of your current c:\2004\JCapper.mdb file attached (feel free to zip it up first) -
I'll import all of the data out of that (older version file) into a current version file and shoot it back to you.
After getting the file back from me and installing it on your c:\2004\folder - you should find that your PlayList File Mode UDM tracklists (both restrict track and avoid) can be 255 characters in length instead of the original 50.
