Memo fields

I really think it's a shame ms access has such a buggy memo field :(

A database that can't store even a paragraph of contiguous text in
2008. M$ rocks!

This and your description of the file indicated that the memo field has become
corrupt. Try deleting that record and re-eintering it.

Yes, but this happens frequently.

This describes it:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/235391/en-us

but the record is not deleted even though it says so. The longer it
sits there, the more of the same error message keeps popping up. Close
the error messages and move off the record, when you return the
original memo entry is there. No corruption, no deletion.

This has been going on for months. It's not a complex join, there's no
code that updates the record, and I have msjet40.dll.

I have a pretty straightforward database that is designed to record free-form information about products (date, source and a memo field). This is searched and updated via a form. For new records, the memo field is usually filled by cutting and pasting from e-mails, web content and spreadsheets. The only problem is that some of the memos can be just a few words, and some can be tens or hundreds of lines, and I've realised that zooming...

I have a query that combines the results of three related tables. The memo fields are truncated to 255 characters, but I need all the information in them. I'm aware that removing code such as DISTINCT and GROUPBY will fix this problem (as discussed in other threads in this group), but I need to limit the query results to unique values, which is what DISTINCT does for me. Any suggestions? Thanks, Jacob

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

Hi everyone, I currently have an Access database that includes quite a few long memo fields. When I create a report of my data, Access does not allow the memo fields to be split with the page breaks. In other words, if my memo field is 3 paragraphs long and there is only space on a report page for 2 paragraphs, rather than putting 2 paragraphs on one page and the last one on the next page, all 3 paragraphs are moved to the next page...

This is mainly a speed question. In this example: I have a QuotesHdr table that has a few memo fields. If these memo fields are used extensively by some users, and if their are a large number of records in QuotesHdr, should I break out the memo fields into a separate table? The thinking here is that, for Quotes selection dropdowns that display all entries in QuotesHdr for selection, I would think that the entire record comes down over...

I have a table with 250 fields. Of course you are wondering why 250 fields... what could I possibly be storing in so many fields? I am using this table as a general import table for files that vary based on user selections. The input files are CSVs and can number from 2 to 175 columns. Each field is usually able to fit into a Text field (< 255 characters) but every now and then a longer field creeps in. since I don't know in which column...

I've been asked to construct a database which will require several memo fields. This database will be the standard frontend/backend mdb configuration.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

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,...
