Please help me with this tough problem.
I use Access frontend Form with linked table to SQL server.
Problem that Access will display text field with field size set to length of data in each field. it will not use the default field length of SQL table.
To edit/append more data to each field on Access form, I need to press 'INTSERT key' when enter each field, then Access will let me type, and the aize of the field can be extended.
Any suggestion for this problem is highly appreciated. I try not to type INSERT key for each field since it would be not very user-friendly for normal users.
Many thanks in advance.
