'message2=crs("message2")
message2=translatelanguage(contentdbc, "content", "message2","contentid", contentid, crs("message2"))

if you have any of our addons, then make sure that you edit the byz_system_config.asp file and set the database type in it to "SQLSERVER" instead of "ACCESS".

Other than that it's possible you're being effected by the sqlserver 8k bug, or the sqlserver text/ntext bug (products/contents/categories tables are usually the ones which are most susceptible to those bugs), but to correct/check those aspects is quite involved (too dangerous to fix via forum postings, because the fix will be dependent on your current data content/structure etc) - all text/ntext columns need to be last in the column list of a given table, and the total fixed-sizes of the tables need to be below 8k (it's a complex calculation; we've got a check-script for it in our library, but there's no automatic fix as analysis would need to be done on the data to work out the relevant fixes)

It might not be any of those things, but I think that's what I'd look at first because those things should be done regardless even if you don't see a visible error.

In fact, the 8k/text bugs are also relevant to people who are already on sqlserver and who then run a vpasp upgrade, because some of the upgrade scripts could end up leaving you in a situation where those bugs could start taking effect (they're only relevant to people on sqlserver though; those 8k/text bugs aren't a problem in access or mysql).

They're not vpasp bugs (vpasp itself deals with these bugs in the way that it processes templates etc), so vpasp itself is actually fine, it's a generic sqlserver problem.

We'll be releasing our "check-8k-size" script as a generic addon soon; it's very handy, especially if you're thinking of lengthening columns (in the meantime we just run it manually on relevant sites for clients who are worried about the bug or having problems with it)
