Delphi 5 - size mismatch on TField

Question

On an ADOQuery I've created a String Tfield and set the it's size to 24(from Fields Editor).

When I'm trying to assign to this field a 24 characters length string (qry.fieldbyname('fieldname').asString ), only first 20 characters are added. I don't understand why.

Answer 1

How is the query populated with data? If you are doing a select against a table then the column will have the same width as in the table schema. Check how the column is defined in your database.
