What code will "flag"end of record in an access memo field?

I have to create a csv file that contains 8 different record layouts from data in Access tables. In the header record, the record length is 61, while in the next record, the record length is 121, etc. I created an Access table with one memo field, had to use a memo field because some of the layouts, the length is greater than 255.

When I export the access table to csv, the record length in all records is 1271, which is the longest record.

Any help is appreciated.
