Memo field in Query behaves like a Text field

Ericks

Why is it that a table's Memo field in a Query behaves like a Text field, showing only the first 255 characters when using the Totals option. When turning off the Totals options all text is shown. I use the Totals options to insert an Expression.

Allen Browne gives an excellent explanation of this problem as well as some workarounds at Allen Brown's Paper on Memo Truncation
