I am using
DoCmd.OutputTo to export a query but this truncates the memo fields, but in the db window,right clicking and choosing to export does not truncate the data.
How do I code to output all the data without truncating?
Hi,
Ok, firstly i have search google and this forum from top to toe and no-1 has an answer that works for me.
I am running a query, now i have completely simplified it. The query is now just picking up a field called recommendations. Recommendations is a memo field with no formating or index on at all. Now, when i run the query as normal it works fine... everything is there. But when i have to group by it. It cuts it off at 255 charactors. The thing is i need to do some sums and counts within the query aswell so it has to be.
I have checked microsoft and there suggestions are not any use.
Any ideas???
I have a strange issue where im importing an excel using docmd.transferspreadsheet. I have a memo field which is importing fine and is not being truncated but I have another which is being truncated every time. The destination field is set to memo and the top cell in the excel is over 255 chars yet it still truncates. The other column does not truncate for some reason.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI searched the forum and realize that there are many posts on this subject, mostly related to exporting the data on reports and such. However, the problem that I am having is within the form. I have two memo fields on my form, named Memo1 and Memo2. Their data source is on a table where both fields there are also memo fields, called Notes and More Notes. I know a memo field can contain up to 65,000 characters, but mine don't seem capable of this and are truncating the data without warning the user, resulting in notations getting "lost". However, when I open the table that the form is bound to and check the Notes field, it DOES contain all the right data PRIOR to truncating. What's happening here? I've reviewed RG's link and have verified that I am not formatting or sorting on these fields, and I've utilized the ZOOM function, and I've checked the names of my fields. The form is built directly from the table, not a query, so I can't understand why this is happening. Starting to get very frustrated. Any suggestions would be welcome. Thanks for your advice.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a table in my database to track survey responses. Some of these responses can be quite long so I am using the memo data type. I have some queries set up to display these responses but the queries truncate the responses to 255 characters. Is there a way to stop the query from truncating? Thanks in advance.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a query that is displaying exactly the correct results. However, when I export this to a text/tab delimited file (or even and XLS file) it truncates the memo field to 256 characters in the export file. I am sure it has something to do with this memo field being defined in part by a custom function. Below is the query and the function. The field in question is the "Formatting(First(description_text)) AS prod_Description" column. Any thoughts? Note: I know that if I don't perform the "First" on this memo field, during the group by, the query would truncate this to 256 characters becuase it has to be in the Group By clause. But by using the First function, this field does not need to be included in the group by and there for the query does not truncate it (even though the exporting does).
SELECT ProductList.cin_id AS prod_ID, Formatting([desc]) AS prod_Name, "" AS prod_Flag, "" AS prod_OverrideName, "" AS prod_SortName, Formatting(First(description_text)) AS prod_Description, "" AS prod_Bullets, ProductList.mfr AS prod_Mfr, "" AS prod_itemSort, "" AS prod_ProdGroup, "" AS prod_SubprodSequence, "" AS prod_Layout, "" AS prod_BaseProductID, "" AS prod_ItemSubheadAttr, "" AS prod_Keywords, "" AS prod_URL, "" AS prod_Type
FROM ProductList
GROUP BY ProductList.cin_id, Formatting([desc]), ProductList.mfr
HAVING (((ProductList.cin_id)<>''));

Public Function Formatting(Text As String) As String
Dim outString As String
outSring = ""
If Len(Text) > 0 Then
outString = Replace(Text, "<b>", "{")
outString = Replace(outString, "</b>", "}")
outString = Replace(outString, "<i>", "{i")
outString = Replace(outString, "</i>", "}")
outString = Replace(outString, "°", "°")
outString = Replace(outString, "™", "™")
outString = Replace(outString, "©", "©")
outString = Replace(outString, "'", "'")

outString = Replace(outString, "<sub>", "{^/")
outString = Replace(outString, "</sub>", "^")
End If
Formatting = outString

I have a query that is truncating a memo field to 255 characters. There is no distinct, group by, format, union or concatenate in the query which are the common cause for truncation.The truncated memo field is comments.
Code:
SELECT HearingAuditTbl.CASE_NUMBER,
Null AS appealcaseid,
HearingAuditTbl.HEARING_ALJ,
Null AS DecisionCode,
HearingAuditTbl.DECISION_DT AS ALJ_Date,

NOW() AS DATE_ADDED

Hello...
I am trying to export an Access table to a csv file.
I have several fields in the table that are type double and go to 3 decimal places. When I export the data, it truncates it to 2 decimal places.
I changed the table design from "Auto" decimal places to 3. and that didn't help.
When I am in the Table Export wizard, it shows all 3 decimal places, but when I look at the text file, it's only 2.
Anybody ever have this problem?
Thanks in advance!

I am in the process of changing over a text field to a memo field to generate more space (in 5 different databases :eek: ) Thanks to all the good info on several searches of this forum, I am pretty clear on how to do that.
The question is... when I convert a field that already has information in it, will I lose the current information?
TIA,
Darnys
when i change records, my subform that has a memo field, shows the memo field data is "highlighted". i can make a mistake and hit any keyboard key and the memo field data will get erased.
is there a way to prevent such a problem?
if not, is there a work around. eg, hide the memo field until needed for more input? ideas on both issues?
Hi guys and Girls
I have a txt box on a report which should show comments..
In the background table the field this txt box is bound to has a data type of memo. Yet the txt box on the report stops showing any more than 255 characters! any clues? I know 255 is the field size set for my Txt fields but memo fields should be able to display 65000000000000000 trillion characters with no problems.
When I look at the table the memo field has all the txt in it, it just wont display all the txt on the report.
Thanks for any help guys.
Are there any other advantages in using a text field verses a memo field other than memory allocation? Memory allocation seems like such a small issue these days.

Hello,
If I read the documentation then memo field in a Access table can be 65.000 chars long.
I have three memo fields in a linked ODBC table which is filled by a append query from SQL-server database. The text in these field is cut off by 255 chars.
Does somebody know what the cause of this can be?
1. Is there a limitation/property where I can configure the length of Access memo field? DAO? I have read something about this but I don't understand this.
2. How can I trace that everything is send from the source? Maybe it's cut off at the source site. On this moment I don't know something about a Linked tabel.
Is there a sniffer or trace tool so that I can see what kind of data is realy send?
Thanks in advance

Greetings All -
Let me say first I am a novice Access user, just trying to teach myself a few things to make my job easier. So take it easy on me with any feedback.
This is my situation. I am using a web based help desk ticketing software that has an Access DB. I have created a couple of queries and linked them together that seem to be working and giving me the data that I want with one exception.
I am tring to query a memo field, which is the description of a ticket, and the output is only a small portion of what is actually entered in to the table. Is there a way either in my query or report builder to make a change that will output all of the data from the description field?
A couple of things that I've tried on my own are to change the data type for that field from memo to text, however that that puts limits on the amount of data that can be entered in and causes the help desk software to function incorrectly. I've also turned on Can Grow and Can Shrink for the text box for the output in my form.
Any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Jason

Thank you for your help,

I have a form with a memo field. This field is based on a table with a field set as a memo data type. The problem is that although the form field lets you type endlessly, it only saves 255 characters. A memo field is supposed to let you enter up to 64000 characters. Has anyone else ever had this problem, if so what was the solution?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a form set up where user's type in an explanation of how a claim is being appealed and resolved in a memo field.
One problem, for some reason management doesn't want these explanations to end with a period. But the users keep ignoring our request and keep using the period.
Is there a way that you can code this memo field to where it will allow punctuation throughout, except at the end?
Hello All...
I've got an address multi-line field in my form. The user types his 1st line of address in the field, presses enter, types the 2nd line of the address, presses enter & so on....And submits the form. The problem is only the 1st line is uploaded into the access database. The field is a memo data type. Can anyone help me with this problem? Cheers...
I'm using an append query to add a new record from a form.
The form has a text box and the contents get entered into a Memo field in the database. When I put more than 100 chars in the textbox and try to save to the database I get an "Invalid Argument" error.
If I use less than 100 chars then it appends fine. The error doesn't come from the textbox, I can put over 100 caracters in that, the error comes from the Append process.
In the append query I use this string.
Expr13: [forms]![additem].[description]
additem is the form
description is the textbox field.
Thanks for the help

My boss has been asking me to create forms in which he can add new records at any time. He has different review cycles for each company he owns (either monthly, quarterly, or annually). I have a form called "REVIEWS" where my boss wants to be able to add a memo with a time stamp each time the review cycle is updated.
How can I use the "addNew" function so that a new memo text box appears in the form each time the review cycle is completed? My boss wants to be able to see each of his notes for each time he reviews a company so I want to be able to keep the old memos as well.
Hi All,
I am not sure if this is an easy one or not..
I have a field in a table named Stock_Alias. This field was originally set as a Number field. I have a combo box on a form, which contains the Stock_Alias numbers. When a number is selected, the remaining fields are shown in text boxes.
I have had to change the Stock_Alias field to a memo, to incorporate Numbers & Characters.
I cannot seem to hit on the right code to get the same results as i did when the field was a number field..
This was the code I was using to select the field as a number...
Private Sub Cmbo_Stock_Alias_AfterUpdate()
Dim rs As Object
Set rs = Me.Recordset.Clone
rs.FindFirst "[Stock_Alias] = " & Str(Me![Cmbo_Stock_Alias])
Me.Bookmark = rs.Bookmark
End Sub
Hello everyone - what I have is a a set of default text's that I need to be able to insert into a memo field - this is how I've set it up (Access 2000)
A table with the text fields in it called wordings
table comprises of
Id field
wordingnme (txt)
wording (Memo)
and I have a combo box on a form which looks up the wordingnme and hold this info - I need to have a button that will take this wordingnme and insert the wording that it relates to into the field of my record - Called Endor (memo)- I will have many text s say upto 50-60 but when I insert these into endor field I will probable only use say 5 or 6 at any one time on the record line so an example follows
line 45 in endor I wish to insert wordingnme "A" and then Wordingnme "B"
I also will do some free form type within this - any idea's :eek:
Hi,
Probably a really simple question, but is causing me problems! I need to be able to limit the amount of characters that can be entered into a field. For text fields I can just enter the relevant field size, but can not find an equivalent for a memo field. Validation rule warns you that there are to many characters, but doesn't seem to actually limit you.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
