How can I split one memo field into two fields so I get
2 columns.

eg. memo field with plain text (e.g. 200 words)
I want 2 fields in my report, to have first 100 words in the left one and the last 100 in the right area.
PLEASE help me on this problem.
 
Hi JavaGif

I am not sure if you want the data on a form or in the report......

If you want it in the form and the form is bound to the table with the field - create an unbound text field and enter: =Left([yourfield],100) for the left-most 100 and do the same but only use the right function to get the right most - I assume there is 200 in each field?

If you want this on a report, and the recordsource is a query, use the same function in a line of the query.

Let me know if you need more.

Fred
