WRITE #1 to a text file - MEMO fields

I am using the following for writing to a file some data:

Open var_export_file For Output As #1

Write #1,.......

One of the values I want to write to the file comes from a MEMO file.
Only 255 characters are written from the memo field, the rest are
invalid characters.

Is there a simple solution for this ?

Try using Put instead of Write. If that doesn't help, post the actual code
you are using.

I checked in help for PUT command, but it should be used for binary or
random files.

This is the code I am using: (The Alias_descr field is a memo field)

Set db_query = db.QueryDefs("s elect_items")

Set db_set = db_query.OpenRe cordset()
Set db_query = Nothing

Open var_export_file For Output As #1

Do While Not db_set.EOF
Write #1, db_set![dimension_no], db_set![Level_no],
db_set![Alias_descr], db_set![Heading_Title], db_set![calculated]

db_set.MoveNext
Loop

Set db_set = Nothing

Close #1

Don't do this "db_query = Nothing" until after the loop, 'cuz db_set
refers db_query QueryDef. I've found its best to clean up (set =
nothing) only at the end of the routine.

Use Print #1 when exporting just text.

Thanks for the tip for db_query=nothin g. I am using WRITE because of the
several universal assumptions that follows. Print has the same problem
as Write for MEMO fields.

I want to create two buttons on a form. One would allow the user to Copy the contents of the current records memo field, the other would allow them to print. I set up a report based on the memo field, and it works. But, it seems wrong since I had to create a huge text box to accommodate memo fields with a lot of text. Thanks for any help, ShyGuy

Is there a way to combine text fields into one memo field? This is an existing database. Some people in the database may have several "contact" entries where they have a "note" in a text field.

I have a text file from a text document that has very long rows (two or three paragraphs from a text document for each row). Importing to text cuts it off at 255 characters, and importing to a memo still cuts it short. TransferText cut it short too. Someone suggested that I use the following code. It works, but it populates only one row of the text. Missing something critical. Any ideas on how to get this to work? 'Beginning of...

Okay, I checked with usual suspects and I'm still frustrated. ..txt file, fixed width. About 88 fields of varying length. All text fields. It will only let me add seperators to about the 410th position but there are 420 positions. What's going on?

Hi, I have an web app and I am using access 2002 and VB.net. I am using a data adapter to fill a dataset. I am retrieving product descriptions, some are long and i have used a field of memo datatype to save them in. The problem is sometimes I can only retrieve the first 255 characters in a memo field and other times I can retrieve the full product

Hi all! After a very long struggle I finally succeded in transferring my old *.dbf file and the relating *.dbt (alias memo fields) to a pg table. For the time being I put the memo field in a separate table having two fields only (i.e.: n_memo integer, memo text) which can be related to the main table in a view.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
