access thread: Query question


Message #1 by "Leo Scott" <leoscott@c...> on Thu, 19 Dec 2002 08:23:21 -0800
I have a Table with 5 memo fields.  I have built a query on this table (and
other linked tables) that returns these memo fields.  This query is the
DataSource for a form.  It appears that the query is only returning the
first 256 characters from the memo field and therefore the form is not
displaying all the information.  Is there a way to get the query to return
all the data in the memo field?

How are you displaying the memo date information on your form i.e. textbox,
combo box, list box?

The memo field is displayed in a textbox with a vertical scrollbar and no
horizontal scrollbar.  However, it is based on a persisted query in the
queries tab.  When I open that query the data is truncated at 256 characters
also.

Just to make sure, drop a textbox on the same form and type the following in
it:

=Len(<your memo field name>)

this way, you can see the exact amount of characters in the field.  I tried
to duplicate the problem, but to no avail.  If you like, you can send me a
copy of the file and I can work you through it.
