Product		Kodak^® InSite^™ Creative Workflow, all versions Kodak TeamWorks, all versions
Platform		All platforms
Operating system		All operating systems

Error		In a Web browser or Kodak InSite Desktop: `Error: Message not found for: -1.` When the above error occurs, the following error message also appears in the CreateTask.asp.log log file on the Creative Workflow/TeamWorks server (where 2222…2222 is a string longer than 756 characters): `8/31/2006 12:54:56 PM - ERROR - [10.1.64.226] Failed to create new task:<COMA_ComException message=“Cannot set column 'TASKDESCRIPTION' to '222...222'. The value violates the MaxLength limit of this column.”`

Symptoms		When you try to create a task with a long task description, the task creation fails with the above error message.

Cause		The size allocated for the task description in the database is limited to 756 characters. If the task description is longer, the task description cannot be entered into the database and the task creation fails.

Solution		Recreate the task, with a task description that is shorter than 765 characters.
