STORED PROC to "UPDATE" ntext field -- PLEASE!

[KathyB]

Hi, I've been reading all sorts of info on the ntext field. I need
this to store xml documents in sql server via a stored proc.

Because of its size, I apparently can not use SET (as in UPDATE)
therefore I'm trying to do an INSERT of the row with this field (after
deleting the old row).

CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.UpdateXmlWF
(
@varWO varchar(50)
@strWF ntext
@varCust varchar(50)
@varAssy varchar(50)
)
AS

INSERT INTO tblWorkOrders (WorkOrder, Customer, Assy, xmlWF) VALUES
(@varWO, @varCust, @varAssy, @strWF)

I'm using MSDE so I can't tell what's wrong...it just won't save the
proc.

PLEASE HELP!

Thanks, Kathy

There wasn't an error message SQL just wouldn't let me save the stored
proc.

HOWEVER, even though I'm going to look really stupid, I'm going to now
ADMIT what was wrong!

I forgot to put the commas between the parameter variables...hop e this
help someone else some day.
