size of memo field
We have a memo field for each record and what I would
like to know if there is a limit to the date we can enter both for the individuel record and also the total batabase. We have suddenly got an error on the database and am wondering itf it is as a result on the memo data we have on the system? |

size of memo field
Memo field: 65,535 characters when entering data through the user interface,
1 gigabyte of character storage when entering data programmatically. Database: 2 gigabytes assuming Access 2000 or later. See 'specifications' in the help file for details. What error are you getting? -- Brendan Reynolds (MVP) http://brenreyn.blogspot.com The spammers and script-kiddies have succeeded in making it impossible for me to use a real e-mail address in public newsgroups.

Any e-mail claiming to be from brenreyn at indigo dot ie that is not digitally signed by me with a GlobalSign digital certificate is a forgery and should be deleted without being read.

G'Day Frank,
The limit for each Memo field is 65,536 characters. You can store LONG formatted Text/Documents/ Spreadsheets/Images/databases etc etc in OLE object fields. You don't say what the error was. -- Regards, Pat Garard Australia ______________________________________ |

Access, at least the older versions can have problems with corrupted memo fields. After getting several of them I removed all my memo fields. Fixing them are really difficult since the error does not show on the record with the problem. -- Joseph E. Meehan 26 + 6 = 1 It's Irish Math |

size of memo field
Corrupted memo fields are a problem much older than
Access (you got the same kind of problem in an office filing system, and at some time or other in every database system ever written had similar problems). However, there are no known specific problems with Access if you have a current version back to A97 SR2. "Joseph Meehan" wrote in message ...
