Hi,
I asked this in an MS Access newsgroup, but no one has answered. Since it
also applies to SQL Server, maybe someone in here has an answer? I actually
do have the same problem in both SQL Server 2000 and Access 2000.
When I click in certain records in a memo field, I get the error message
"text too long to be edited", and I can't get into the record to make any
changes.
I tried exporting the record to html, but only part of the memo field is
exported.
I know that in SQL Server, you can increase the size of the field, but you
can't do that in an Access memo field (that I know of!).
I'm thinking that if I could get into the field and lose some of the white
space, it would help, but I can't get into the field, and can't get the data
out, either!
Does anyone know anything about this?
Thanks, Jill~

I don't know much about Access but I suspect you are trying to edit data via
an Access form or grid. Since the problem occurs when you attempt edit some
existing rows but not others and occurs with both Access and SQL Server
databases, it looks to me like there is some built-in Access data length
restriction.
Your best bet for this question is one of the groups in the
microsoft.publi c.access hierarchy.

I'm trying to retrieve a text value from a MySQL database, put it into
an updateable form, allow edits, and send back the edited text back
into the MySQL database. I've been able to successfully retrieve the
text and put it into the editable form, using htmlspecialchars
function. But, I can't find a way of accepting the edited text and
sending back to the database.
Here's my code for retrieval.

When did this change? I thought is was 64K but I managed to dump 18MB in
one, Access crashed when I scrolled to the bottom (out of memory error
then sent report to MS). Out of interest, does anyone what a reasonable
limit is? i.e. how much text can be dumped and scrolled without crashing.

I am building a little unique dialog editor and have derived some new

When the user closes the dialog he edited it was first disposed,
because it was not part of an Control anymore. I changed that by

Hi Everybody (especially Microsoft),
we build EMF files with rotated text for export to office (powerpoint,

Without the rotate transformation the text stays as a block and can be
edited in the office document after ungrouping. But a rotated text leads to
single charackters when ungrouping.
The following sample code creates an emf file. The file can be dragged to...

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,...
