Excel Export cuts off at 255 characters

I need to export a query to Excel with a memo field. The memo field
keeps getting cut off at 255 characters. If I just cut and paste, I
get the whole memo field.

I need it in Excel without having to go through all that. Any ideas?

Thanks!

I think you have to change tack a little and export from a table to get all
your memo data.

One way would be to create a make table query and then export from that.
