Free text option
Hi,
we have a database here that is build on Microsoft access however there is a Notes option .... if you click on a button it brings up an option for you to wtite free text comments, but there does not seem to be the 255 char limit, so it must be writing to a notepad, but every time you go to that inidividuals record the info on the Notes option is saved. Does anybody know how this is done as it would be really useful in a simple dbase that I am attempting to make Mike

type. -- Wayne Morgan Microsoft Access MVP "Mike" wrote in message ...

Formatting a field as a "memo" type will allow you to enter up to 65,535
characters. Rick B "Mike" wrote in message ...
