Hello,
I have a form based on a table containing 2 memo fields :
fld_base_text and fld_edit_text.
I have created a button that copies the text from field to field.
The command is the following :
fld_edit_text = fld_base_text
The problem is that if the field content is too long, the copied text is truncated.
Oddly enough, if I copy/paste with the mouse or the shortcut keys, then there is no problem.
Any solution or suggestion ?
Thanks

I think your code is only taking the first 256 characters of the memo field. I think you may have to do this in a DAO recordset.

Why are you using two fields with the same data in the same table?

Do you have an idea of the coding here?
If I am using twice the same field, it is for the following reason :
fld_base_text is the original text that CANNOT be modified
fld_edit_text is a copy of the original version that can be completely modified (depending on the case)
Thanks,
Sven

Okay, here is the code that I used that transfer more than 256 characters from one memo field to another. This works, but I have to click it twice to get the text to show up in the form. I am not sure why that is.

I used a table called Table1, and TableID as an Autonumber PK, with Memo1 and Memo2 memo fields.
