Can you tell me how many fields Access will allow in a table. As I stated
in a previous post, I need to track multiple measurements from machines 10
per day. In some cases this will give me 120 measurements or more. I could
put one check on one record but I was hoping to find a way to put all 10
checks (120 measurements) into one record. So far I really haven't gotten a
reply I understand other than do one record per check.
I've been trying to do:
Check#1 measurement, measurement, measurement, etc
Check#2 measurement, measurement, measurement, etc
all the way to
Check#10 measurement, measurement, measurement, etc.
Now this method will work but I have to create 120 fields to do it. When
I've tried Access tells me it's too many fields.
I was wondering how many fields you can actually have?

For Access 2003, the maximum number of fields is 255. If you go to Access
help and search "Access Specifications" you will find a help topic detailing
the various limits in Access.

Thanks David that's really handy.
I see where in Access 2000 (which I'm using) it says I can have 255 fields
in a table. However I have, as near as I can count 126 fields in one of my
tables. When I try to add another I get a message "too many fields
defined". I thought this meant I had too many. Now I'm not sure what it
means, do you have any idea?
Thanks for the tip,

Don, I'm not sure about this, but it seems to me that I remember reading
somewhere (perhaps this ng) that if you delete fields those still count
toward your 255 limit. If that is indeed the case, you could try a make
table query from the table you've got now to a new table and see if it will
let you add more fields.
