Answer 1

Thank you for your response and sorry for the length
of code,
Thats was my first idea that it was asking for
or something I dont have but I checked my database and
I dont have any unusually large data entries (most
between 8-15 letters, the others are numbers) could it
be something wrong with how I've entered the database
in MsAccess, or am i barking up the wrong tree again!
Many thanks
RobI think you've misunderstood me. This has nothing to do with unusually large data entries, but rather the opposite. You are wrongly expecting data that is shorter than you think. When you call rs.getString(i) to retrieve a column value of a field, and you only want the first 5 characters in the column (instead of 10 or whatever the column size is), you would do something similar to the following:
String column_value = rs.getString(1).subtstring(0,5);The above expects a String that is at least 5 characters. Your problem is when your column value returned is less than the specified substring index ( in this case 5 ) it will throw an exception. If you changed your code to this, the error will not occur:
String column_value = rs.getString( 1 ).subtstring( 0, 5);
if ( column_value.length() > 5 )
column_value = column_value.substring( 0, 5 );
