Max number of fields in a table =255.

Look at your design. You probably need to normalize the table and make
several fields across multiple tables.

Subject: [AccessD] Hit the Wall?

In an Access app w/FE and BE, I need a table that has about 270 fields.  A
single form will be bound to the table.  (This is a business process
management application.)  If I upsize this to a project (never done this), I
can have up to 1024 fields in a table.

 

I tried creating a query to join two smaller tables, but queries are also
limited to 255 columns.

 

Is there a way around this so I can still use an Access BE?

 

Thanks!

Dan Waters
