'Missing' Data... HTML Tag Issue?

'Missing' Data... HTML Tag Issue?
I have a text field [length 255] in which I enter a book title, which is actually a link to Amazon.

After entering 100 records, everything displays fine.

When I go to Modify mode, I notice the 'title' field data appears truncated after about the 5th character. To resolve this, I need to re-enter the field and save.

Some 'error text' displays next to the field:

The Power of a Praying Wife, Omartian, Stormie" MAXLENGTH="255">

The actual data in the field should be:

<a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1565075722">The Power of a Praying Wife</a>, Omartian

`````````````````````````

The complete data always exists in the db. It seems that the modify screen somehow truncates
the data.

The field is set to the 255 max -- both in the htm.pl and in the cfg.

Seems I'm only having trouble with this field -- Could it be because I'm entering an HTML tag?
Other fields, even fields with more data, are not a problem.

I'm in the process now of re-entering all records [deleted db and count records] just in case something was corrupted.

Thanks!
