I have an Access database where each record in the database consists of one memo field. I have some VBA code that concatenates the fields into a comma separated variable (csv) list and puts it in one memo field/record of another table. The resulting data is more than 255 charactersso I cannot use a text field. Attempting to export the memo field results in a blank file.
I need to export that field as an actual csv file for another application to use.
Any suggestions?
 
You may have to substring the field into multiple values of 256 characters each, or try converting the value to a varchar(8000)
Code:
CONVERT(varchar(8000),Meno_Field)
