"image" limitation of 510 bytes

Hello,

I have a field in my SQL Server 2000 with type "varbinary(8000)" which I merge onto my SQL CE 2.0 database. On my SQL CE 2.0, this field becomes "image".

Based on Microsoft's site: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa257477(SQL.80).aspx, "image" is used if the size is not over 510; however, when I populate this field in SQL CE, the maximum size that is stored is 510 bytes. I have verified my source data was complete (2622 butes) when again when I check the size of the field after an insert, it had only 510 bytes.

What's the work-around

Thank you.
