Hmmm, go figure.  Never ran into that problem before, but now that you
mention it, I do remember that limitation.

Drew:

That's where the 2k/4k data pages and record locking by page/record come 
from.  Try creating 9 text fields of 255 characters in a table record.  
Access 97 will puke it out immediately.  I'm not certain how unicode 
compression fits in with newer versions but I assume it is at the transfer, 
not storage stage.

Of course we have memo fields...
