I have a linked table residing in a SQL server 2000 database. When I query a memo field from that table, it shows the control characters as well. Is there any re-formatting that I can do at the table/query level that will switch those to control characters that Access forms can use?
 
Hi
I don't think so, cause it depend what the memo field has.
If there are only soft carriage return and hard carriage return and u can remove those by checking the ASCII code.
But if the memo field has print command and formating codes
(bold, underline etc) it would be quite tedious

 
No hard formatting, just carriage returns.
