Output column size limit on query analyzer

We are using SQL 2K with Sp4.
I am doing a Select statement where it contains a column that composes of a
concatenation of various strings and many fields. At time, the output of thi
s
column will contain a very very long output string that part the output data
is being truncated. I assume it exceeds the limit of an output column in
the result panel would allow. Is there a setting in SQL I can change to
imcrease the size of a column in the result panel in query anaylzer?
WingmanA way to get around this is to use Excel and exeucte a database query and
return the results to a sheet. The data will not be truncated. It may
work by sending query results to a file from query analyzer but I haven't
tried that.

coming from our web application so we need to solve this within SQL or
adjusting SQL settings.

On the results tab, increase the Maximum characters per
column setting.

The select statement is coming from a web application, how do I change the
settings you mention in a server-wise setup so all connections to that
database has the same setting.
