In my database I have a form that you go to enter project status for week ending. In that form I have a subform so that when you pick a project that it brings in the status entered for last week because so you can see what you put for last week before you put in this weeks. The status is set up as a memo field. For this one project it is cutting the data off. However when I go to print the report all the data is there. It's just when I am trying to review what was entered last week it doesn't show everything. It pulls up last weeks status with a query. Could the query be causing the cut in data. If so how do I fix that?
Thanks

querying memo fields is a nightmare. It cuts off a 255 characters invariably. As a work around don't have the status field returned by the query. Instead put a dlookup in the textbox.

I'm a little confused never working with DLookup before.
Here is what I have:
When you go in it auto populates this Friday's date, then you pull down a project from a drop down, then when you pick that project. The status, milestone, and next step (3 seperate memo fields) populate with last weeks project status and its pulling from a query based on the max date and the project you picked from the drop down.
Where would I put the DLookup? In the query, form, code? I would have to put it for all 3 unless I would make a MakeTableQuery and have it read from there. I am not sure what I should do.
Can you please help?

Just stick a textbox (txtDesc) on the form and in the after update event of the combobox put the DLookup. - Me!txtDesc = DLookup( ...
Try setting the field in the query to First instead of Group By.

Thanks for that - that's got my problem sorted .... cheers

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,

Thank you in advance for any and all assistance.
I'm trying to take 4 fields and space them evenly on a receipt printer. My
problem is there are many variables, i.e.
Qty may be one or two digits; 01-99
Description may be UPTO: 25 characters, but some are less than that; Would
and either or statement for each length do the trick?
Price Per; $ .25 to $99.99
Then the subtotal is Qty * Price Per

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

I have a Memo field in a table to hold notes from a conversation a
social worker has had with a client (this is for a non-profit).
If the user needs to update the memo field, I need to find the
original record (which I am doing fine - getting the correct key)
and
I need to update the "notes" with the new value from the form, which I
store in a String Variable.
(I've tried storing in a Variant variable; didn't work for me)

I've got two tables in sql2005 which have an 'ntext' field
when I linked the first table in access97 last week using an odbc data
source the access-field type was 'memo'
when I link the 2nd table today, it is linked as a text(255) field,
ditto for the first table if I link it today
if I link the 2nd table using access2003 (and the same odbc data
source) it is linked as a memo field
