Apend Query Problem Text Size

Hello - the world
this the 2nd time i tried this and hope someone can help

I have a form that i need to insert text into the text is held in a table and the amount of text can vary from 30characaters to 1,000's

now i have a drop down box with the following

SELECT [Wording].[wordingid], [Wording].[wordingnme], [Wording].[wording] FROM Wording;

i select one and then while that item is highlighted , i push a button append and it inserts in to my form

The table settings on the form are memo and the table settings on the wording are memo , i can see the info in the raw table its the append bit

so wording - fishing would be wordingnme and the text I want to apply would be "gone fishing etc "
works a treat but I only get the first 255 chars of a long wording

I can insert as many wordings into my form but size limt of 255 so its not the form

any ideas ?????:confused:
