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
I don't think anything was changed on sql2005 or access97 since
linkage of the first table produce the correct field type
does anyone know what is required to get access97 to link a memo
field ?

If I change the sql table field from 'ntext' to 'text' and relink, the
access field is now 'memo', but when I display the table contents I
see "#Name?" in all fields
yet if I open a recordset to the table and debug.print all the data in
all rows, it looks ok
note, the sql table has a 'timestamp' field, which I thought fixes the
#Name? problem
recreating the ODBC data source doesn't help

the sql table actually has 3 'text' fields, and if I delete 2 of them,
the linked table shows it as a memo field, and the table view
correctly shows the data instead of #Name?
note, using one 'ntext' field still fails to create a memo field
so unless someone can provide more insight, I'll create three tables,
where the last 2 will have just a 'text' field, and I'll modify the

I have just run into a problem where I have a text box control on a form
that is linked to a memo field in a table. When I type a really long
comment into the field, it allows me to type it and then does save the
entire comment to the table. However, when I use a query which includes
this field to send to a report, the field is truncated at the old text field
limit of 255 characters. I have ascertained that it is happening in the
query,...

I have a linked table (Access 2003) to an Outlook inbox. The body of
the e-mail messages are in a memo field. My problem is that I need to
"read" the memo and find data on certain lines.
The memo will look something like this:

I've read all the posts, but nothing works
I've got a table with an ID field and a memo field
one record in the table, with the memo field having 322 chars
I open the table, and then use the office links on the toolbar to
'analyze it with ms excel', but the contents on the excel cell contains
just the first 255 chars
I've also tried, using vba, ie.

A little while ago Ron P kindly responded to my inquiry on how to copy
the first line of memo field into a text field, using a query:
left(,instr(1,,vbCrLf)-1)
This is great, but I would like to do this on a form, so that the
person entering the memo can use a button to paste the 1st line to a
title (text) field. I'm having trouble setting up the code to do this.
I'd also appreciate some ideas on how to get the 2nd and 3rd lines...

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

My client insists that the printed copy of text entered into a memo
field have EXACTLY the same layout as it appears on the screen.
I found I had to eliminate the vertical scroll bar. Then I copied the
memo field from the form to the report. I verified that the font and
font size (MS Sans serif 8) were the same. However, the text shows
differently. On the printed version, more text shows on the line than
in the form.
Suggestions?

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows.
