I have a mysql database sitting on our webserver which I have the tables linked in Access. Whenever you go to the design view of the linked tables, what was created as a text field in mysql shows up as a memo field in Access. Is there a datatype that will translate to a text field in Access when linked?

Thanks,

I think I found the answer. I set my datatypes up as CHAR(), and they translated to text in Access.
