Text to Memo Change Failed

[Dalan]

This seems a bit odd and probably I'm overlooking something, but have
not been able to change a text field to a memo one. Of course, I made
the change in the related Table setting, however the display in the
expanded box on the form stops at 255 characters regardless.

The box gets its data from a four column list box and is used for an
expanded report description. And yes, I tried changing the list box
to "memo" as well, but to no avail. I have a basic secondary form for
inputting the report description and other information and after
changing this form from text to memo it worked. But as mentioned, the
display of the description in the box on the my report selection form
stops at 255 char.

Any suggestions anyone?

Thanks, Dalan

List boxes implicitly convert memo to text.

Bind your textbox to the table. Goto the applicable record in the
afterupdate event of the listbox.

Thanks, Dalan

Thanks Bob, however, could you share a bit more? The textbox is bound
to the table. What code does one need to insert in the AfterUpdate
event of the ListBox? Dalan
