Text too long

Hello list - I am just an amateur user but have previously set up a database
using Apache on Win XP and phpmyadmin (and Mysql administrator). 

Re-doing after fresh install of a computer.

Win XP SP2   MySQL 5.0.37   Apache 1.3  phpmyadmin 2.10.1

I have created a simple table with an auto increment ID and a text field to
hold the contents of articles and two time stamp fields (one to register any
edits) 

I am using copy paste into the "insert" box in phpmyadmin to enter details
but having trouble entering longer articles.  

A short one went in OK but for a longer one with 45 000 characters I get the
error that the text is too long. The field is set as mediumtext which I
assumed would be big enough. But even if I change the field type to longtext
it gives the same error. I thought that would be long enough to hold a
novel! 

Any clues what I am doing wrong?


Regards Adrian
