[AccessD] Linked Table field Size

It isn't a limitation in Access but it may be some kind of limitation in
the product you're using.  I've never run into that.  What version of
SQL Server and Access are you using?

The link is actually to a view in SQL.  The view returns more than 100
characters if they are present.  There is code to re-link the
tables/views so that each user can log on as themselves.  Using the
code, or link external tables, the number of characters is the same.

This is a commercial product to create reports that I have modified.

I'm not sure I understand.  A linked table should reflect the field size
of the SQL Server table, not an arbitrary Access limit.  Can you explain
in a bit more detail what's going on, what kind of a linked table you
have, etc.
