cannot edit text cell

I am trying to edit a long text cell in Enterprise Manager but when I select
"<long text>" and try to delete it, I get an error saying "cannot edit this
cell".

Could anyone tell me how to edit this cell?

Thanks, Amanda

Hi

When your text column has more than 900 characters it will not allow you to
enter it via EM.

You can use Query Analyser (which is usually easier and safer IMO) to issue
an update statement, or for more complicated changes look up UPDATETEXT in
books online.

Use an UPDATE statement in Query Analyzer is probably the best thing to do -
EM isn't really a data manipulation or development tool, and it has a number
of 'features'.
