Symptoms

When you change the SQL Data Type property for a field in a table in Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2009, you receive the following error message:

The following SQL Server error or errors occurred when accessing the TableName table: 102,"42000",[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Incorrect syntax near 'Characters'.


Note The TableName placeholder represents the actual Microsoft Dynamics NAV table name and the Characters placeholder represents several random characters from an SQL statement.

This problem occurs if the table name or the relevant field name is unusually long. This problem occurs in the following products:

  • Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2009 R2

  • Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2009 Service Pack 1

Cause

This problem occurs because the long table name or the long field name causes an overflow of the buffer. The buffer is available to contain the SQL statement that applies the change to the underlying table.

Resolution

How to obtain the Microsoft Dynamics NAV hotfix or update files

After you request a Microsoft Dynamics NAV hotfix, a hyperlink will be sent to you in an e-mail.


The e-mail will contain a hyperlink and a password. You can use the hyperlink to download the Microsoft Dynamics NAV hotfix or the update files. When you click the hyperlink, the File Download – Security Warning dialog box opens. Then, you are prompted to run, to save, or to cancel the download.


If you click Run, the files start the download and the extraction process. You must specify a folder for the new files, and then provide the password.


If you click Save, you must specify a path for saving the compressed file. When you open the file that you saved, you are prompted to specify a path for the files. Then, you must provide the password provided in the e-mail.


If you click Cancel, the download process stops.
