Hi.

I want to create my own forum..in asp.net thru vb

any suggestions on how to store a thread to access?

I know acces limits text to 50 chars I beleive, but if I go beyond that..should I just store the thread to a file and point to the file from an acess field..if so how would I do that. Also how would I then access that that MS Access field that points to a file and then show the thread in some table cell..


Any thoughts would be appreciated..

Thanks
 
Hi,

Use a memo field in access.

Text can go up to 255 character - look at the 'field size' box in table design view to change.

I really wouldn't recommend using Access as a database for a web application. There are free versions of more suitable databases such as SQL Server and MySQL.
