ok, I have been searching for a while, and no luck. I think I have come close, but not experienced enought to adapt code. I have a memo field on my form. I want to append new comments to this field without erasing the current data in the field. I want to do this through code. Can this be done?
View Repliesmemo fields chopping the content when appending to another table memo field.I have a query that takes in a couple of tables and then appends the content to one larger table.In each of the smaller tables there is a memo filed that when I check it has the entire type content in above 255 without a problem.
When the query runs and appends it to the larger table the content in the memo filed is chopped down.Both tables fields are set to memo I have double checked this.I have seen some comments about unique values in the query properties but these are set to NO as advised but it still does this.
hi Guys,
I have been looking at different post and checking Microsoft help files as well, but still can't seem to fix this problem.
I am having 2 tables. The first table is connected to a form for viewing and entering data, and in the second table i am just copying 3-4 fields from the first table.
I am trying to use the insert statement to insert records in the second table, and everytime i click on the "Add" button to add the records i get the following error "MS access can't append all the records in the append query ... blah blah blah"
However if i close the form and reopen it, and goto the record (as it is saved in the first database) and now click on the add button to add the fields to the second table/database, it works.
What am i doing wrong???
Any inputs will be greatly appreciated.
I´m trying to improve my appl. but I´m stuck trying to figure out how to append multiple rows on a table using the Append query.
My problem comes since I have 4 tables with the following fields:
1) Orders
OrderID (number)
CustomerID (number)
Date (date)
etc...
2) OrderDetails
OrderDetailID (number)
OrderID (number)
ProductID (number)
QuantitySold
UnitPrice
etc...
3) TmpOrders
OrderTmpID (Autonumber)
CustomerID (number)
Date
etc...
4) TmpOrderDetails
OrderDetailTmpID (Autonumber)
OrderID (number)
ProductID
QuantitySold
etc...
The problem comes since the Tmp tables are used just to record temporarly the information before the transaction is completed.
Whe the salesman at the desk finish the sale, a command button is presseed and an append query runs to transfer the data from Tmp tables to the Definitive tables. Another query (Delete) is excuuted inmediately after the append qry. and it deletes the information recorded on Tmp tables.
I need to reset the autonumber or create a field that records the line number so I can add up to the Maximum OrderDetailID found on the definitive table, but the problem is how to create the "controlled" autonumber.
Please help.

I've posted this in my usual Excel forum without any response so I figure someone here might be able to help. I'm using an SQL query in an Excel VBA macro to extract info from an Access table and dump it into an Excel worksheet, which works fine except for a Memo field, which is truncated to one character length - text fields are fine, just this one Memo field. I'm using the Microsoft DAO 3.6 library. Any ideas?
Cheers

Hi All,
This is probably the simplest question to answer but alas I can't find the answer in any of my books!
I have a memo field which when made into the form is for a comments box (therefore has to be a memo box). However, the end user wants to be able to type in the comments and have this is paragraphs but of course the field doesn't want to do it.
I've tried various commands in the properties and also in the formats etc. and now I'm at a loss - can someone please give me some much needed guidance, and I really am sick of looking at this database and would like to get rid of it!
Thanks in advance guys.

Is there a way to populate the value of a memo field with the push of a button. What I am trying to do is have a few default items that can be automatically entered into a memo field. When I attempt to change the value of the memo field either thru the wizard, macro or by using a simple code like me.[memofield]="test" I get the error that you cannot assign a value to this object or by using setvalue through a macro i get the error "Object doesnt support this property or method"
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated
Thanks

Seem to be having a brain fade here, I have spent all day trying to figure this out.
I am trying to add notes to one of my forms with a date stamp. The form will be viewed every week so new notes will be added with new date stamp any ideas of the best way to do this.

How can you use a memo field in a combo box.
How can you edit a memo field used by the combo box once it has been selected in a form.
I have a memo field in my database, as the data is too long to be a text field. The data in this field has been pasted in from other sources, and somehow it seems to have remembered the original pasted formatting, which was like a newspaper column. So when I include this field on a report, I get a thin column of text, even though the text box on my report is much wider. Is there a way of getting the text from my memo field to wrap to fill the width of my text box, so I get a neat-looking report. Thanks.

How do I parse these records, about 400, located in the memo field column to multiple column fields: FirstName, LastName, PhoneN, Email, Comments.

Just wanted to know if filtering a memo box was possible. I know it's not the best idea to do so but I could really find this feature for my database useful.

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.

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.
I have been asked if is possible to highlight some text in a memo field and make it a hypertext link.
A memo field can be changed to a hyperlink field, this is not what is wanted.
Can someone tell me if this can be done somehow.
I have a date field, ID field and a memo field (I have to have this memo field).
I want to compare the memo fields by two certain dates and find out what doesn't match and if the ID field is blank. I have been trying with quaries but no luck.
I am not sure what forum this would fall under so I put it in general. feel free to move.
I've read on this forum that memo fields can be a spot of bother. I only saw this after I put several memo data types in my tables. I wasn't going to do that much with them; it was intended as a electronic scratch pad of sorts for the user. Where does the trouble arise from with them? Should I just leave them or should I change them to text fields with 255 chars and hope that's good enough?

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
Nico
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.

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???
