memo field in report truncating at 255 characters

4 New Member
I have a memo field in a report that is truncating at 255 characters. I've tried the following w/no success: 1. Grow/Shrink option is yes. 2. "Group By" changed to "first". 3. "Group by" changed to "last" 4. took out memo field, saved query, and reinserted memo field. nothing seems to be fixing this bug. Please help! any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Posting to a dormant thread is only a problem when either :
  1. The subject matter is no longer appropriate. EG. Maybe how Access works has changed since then.
  2. An attempt is made to ask for more information - or even a separate question.
Thank you notes are never inappropriate and I suspect any members still around after this time will still appreciate the comment.

Thank you very very very much, I have solved it, by removing the Group by.

Hi, I have a report based on a query. The query grabs a memo field from my main table, yet when I display the memo field in the report it truncates the memo field (the field needs to hold more than 255 characters). The table holds all the memo text, but the query seems to truncate the memo field to 255 chars? This seems like there should be a relatively easy fix, but I can't seem to find it.

I'm sure this is a very easy one if you know, but any help would be appreciated I have a field in my database which needs to be as long as poosible. in the help it says that a memo field is 4000 odd characters long, which would be about right. However my memo field does not remember any more than about 300 characters. Is there a box or something to tick to allow longer field lengths? thanks again

I have a field, data type Memo, in a job details table. I have a text box on a report which I need to print the contents of this field. My problem is that the text box will only display 255 characters. How can I get the report to print this field completely. Thanks for any help out there. John.

Hi all, I have a query in ASP.NET that selects text from a memo field in Access (among other things). The query appears to be truncating the text at 255 characters. I've done a little research on this and found some other Google Groups threads that were helpful, but I still don't have a solution. My query is rather complicated and uses a union, but not the keyword distinct. The query is displayed in a datagrid, and I don't know how I...

Does using CStr on a memo field truncate it to 255 characters? Seems like this is happening with some data in my tables. Is there a way around this?

Hello, I'm looking for a way to parse/format a memo field within a report. The Access 2000 database (application) has an equipment table that holds a memo field. Within the report, the memo field is printed within the detailed area. The problem is, the apllication is not setup properly, thus the users are entering data within the memo field as: location1 1/1/2005 1/1/2006

I am using Access 2003. I have a memo field that I have put into a report. My problem is that the report will only show a specific amount of characters in the report. It does not display the entire field. I have checked the properties and they are set to memo so what is happening here? I think it is happening in more than one field but I have only been able to identify or replicate the problem in one field. Thanks

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Hello I'm a network technician in training and I need your help. I am currently learning how to create and manage the different types of VPNs and I have a question about LAN-to-LAN VPNs.
