Memo Field and number of characters 3

[ribbons]

Hi all,

I have an Access Db that contains a memo field with rather lengthy text entries. I also have a form on which I want to display the info in the memo field in a text box. I believe I have read that text boxes will accomodate up to 64,000 characters from a memo field. But for some reason, I can only get a limited number of characters to display in this text box. I can look at the table itself and see the complete memo entry. So, am I missing something here?

Queries sometime truncate memo fields to 255 characters, not always! Allen Browne has a brief paper here on the subject with some workarounds.

have you tried to crear a NEW text box as a test (even on a different form) to see if it display what you require.
