Default How many MEMO fields allowed in a table?

If so, then Memo fields must be excluded as I have records with two
Memo fields each in excess of 3,000 characters.

Access has a limit of (?)2,000 characters per record ... that would be why
multiple text fields at 255 characters each would exceed the limit.

If you'll provide a bit more specific description of the domain you are
working in, the newsgroup readers may be able to offer alternate approaches.
