[AccessD] Memo Fields and Reports in Access 97

    On the subject of memo fields in reports, another interesting feature is pertinent - 

    If the field content is larger than one page, and 'Keep Together' property of Detail section is set as 'Yes', the Report Formatting process is prone to hang up Indefinitely.

    Conclusion - For large Memo Fields in a report, set the 'Keep Together' property of Detail section as 'No'

  Set the field to be able to grow.  It will expand to fit everything.

  OK, I stated my question wrong.  I have a report in access 97 that needs to display the contents of a memo field.  How can I do this without some (most) of my data being dropped?

  It has been a while since I needed to add a memo field to a report
  and I
  cannot seem to remember, is the memo field limited to 255 char. on
  the
  report?  And if so, could it then limit my memo field to the same
  255
  chars?

  TIA
