My first question is do you really have a user TYPING in 65k+ of text into one field? Sheesh! I do not believe there is anything special to add more than 65k to a memo field. I believe you can just open a recordset, and set a memo field to whatever value you want, up to the size limit of the .mdb. But I have never looked into whether or not there is a limit to the size of a textbox. Here's a spec on the memo field: http://www.mvps.org/access/general/gen0011.htm Drew -----Original Message----- From: accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Debbie Sent: Monday, May 17, 2010 4:32 PM To: Access Developers discussion and problem solving Subject: [AccessD] Really long memo fields Well for the first time I have a user bumping against the 65K limit for memo fields entered from a text box. I thought unbinding would take care of the problem, but I seem to be jettisoning some of the memo anyhow on update. I am putting it back in using appendchunk because these users write novels worth of notes. Is the appendchunk my mistake? Is the text box itself what is constrained? Do I need something much more complicated to add new notes, keep the old ones and allow access to old notes over 65K? Better yet does anyone have an example?
