Text data type in MS SQL 7.0

I have a field of type Text.

I can save data to this field. However, when trying to retrieve it, it is always empty (open the table, the data is still in the field). Any hints?

Thanks.

PS: There is no error in reference the field at all, since if I change the data type to varchar(200), then I can retrieve this field allright. But I want to use Text datatype.
