Default MEMO FIELD

I am using a form to enter data into my table. One of the
fields in the table is a memo field.

THE PROBLEM IS: When I type in the infromation in the
form everything looks good but if I go to the next record
or save the current record the memo field only stores
about 20 words.

I thought the memo field stored something like 60,000
characters (I am no where near this)

Any suggesttions?

Do you have a format property value set in your form or table?

That's your problem. Remove the format. Besides ALL CAPS REALLY IS HARD TO
READ.
