Truncating Of Memo Data Type

Oct 5, 2005

I 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.

Memo Data Type Field On A Form

Jan 25, 2006

Hi all,

I have a question about an Access form that I am creating. I have a "Due Notes" field, which has Memo data type and I create a form "Estimates" using a text box with the control source is that "Due Notes" field to enter notes when needed.

Although I have the vertical scroll bar for that text box (due to other controls, I can not size the text box too big), does anybody know how to display that text box in form "Estimates" with the data of the last text within the size of the box without scrolling down so I can start typing for the next entry? Do I make sense to you?

Please help and let me know if you know HOW. Thanks so much in advance.

Tables :: Long Text - Lost Functionality From Old Memo Type

Mar 28, 2014

I am a pretty novice user currently playing around with Access 2013 using Office 365.

I used to love the old style Memo field where people cut put in carriage returns to split up data. I am wondering if this function has been removed with this LONG TEXT FIELD or is there a way around it.

I like it because I tend to use it as a tracking field and like the newest "comments" at the top separated by a Carriage Return...

Forms :: Quick Filter Not Working When Memo-type Fields In Form

Jul 1, 2013

I recently made a new version of our database complete with forms, querys etc.. using Access 2010. It looked good and nice, but we encountered an unexpected problem. In all forms that contains memo-type fields quick filter is not working (there is no lists, checkboxes etc..). My users really like quick filters and are understandably irritated. I would understand if this disappearance would affect only memo-type fields, but it affects ALL the fields.

I also know that there are problems with memos in Access 2010. I have tried to make new forms, but every time I add memo fields quick filter stops functioning. I have also tried to change properties, options and what not, but to no use. In older versions of our forms this feature works just fine, but they were made in older version of Access (don't know which since oldest ones are from year 2003).

Tables :: Changing Field Data Type But Keeping Data

Oct 23, 2013

I have a field in a table that is comprised of mostly numerical data but some records are text.

I want to convert this field to numerical only and make a new field to put the textual data in.

However converting the field will delete the textual data. What is the easiest way to convert the field but save the textual data AND append the textual data to the SAME record that they were in originally in the new field?

Memo Fields - Order Of Data

Dec 6, 2007

Hello people.

Im just after a bit of advice please??

I have created an audit trail for data held on a form so that when a field is changed it adds a line of text to a memo field with the date of the change and the old and new field values. The problem I have is that each time something is changed the line of text is added beneath the existing text in the memo field. This means that for users to view the most recent change they have to scroll all the way down to the bottom of the memo field. Is there a "Quick" way of me having the most recent entry first.
I am using the vbnewline command when adding the text. A sample is shown below:

Dim Response As Integer
Dim AnotherItem As Integer
Dim sqlstr As String

Set Myform = Forms![DataDetail]
Producer = Forms![ListOfProducers(Existing Data Item)]![LstProducers].Column(1)

Response = MsgBox("Are you sure you wish to add a Producer?", vbYesNo, "Data Dictionary v1.0")
sqlstr = "INSERT INTO DataProducers ( Data_Id, Producer_Id ) SELECT Data.Data_Id, Producers.Producer_Id FROM Data, Producers WHERE (((Data.Data_Id)=[Forms]![DataDetail]![Data_ID]) AND ((Producers.Producer_Id)=[Forms]![ListOfProducers(Existing Data Item)]![LstProducers]));"
If Response = 6 Then
DoCmd.RunSQL sqlstr
Myform!LstHistory = Myform!LstHistory & vbNewLine & "Changes made on " & Now & ""
Myform!LstHistory = Myform!LstHistory & vbNewLine & "The Producer '" & Producer & "' was added to this data item"""
Myform!LstHistory = Myform!LstHistory & vbNewLine & "-----------------------------------------------------"
MsgBox "Producer has been successfully added.", vbInformation, "Data Dictionary v1.0"


Thanks folks...

Problem Filtering Yes/no Data Data Type

Oct 2, 2006

I’m not an expert in Access and hope that someone can help me with my problem. I have about 20 fields of Yes/No data type.

E.g.
StudentID- Tex
Science – Yes/No
Math – Yes/No
Biology – Yes/No
Chemistry – Yes/No
Economics – Yes/No
...

I would like to create a parameter query (without using form combo box) where when I run the query, it would prompt me for the subject name. Let say I keyed in Science, it would list out all the StudentsID who took up Science only (with a Yes) and the other subjects.

Pls help.

Thanks.

Problem With Data Cutting Off In Memo Field

Nov 7, 2006

I’m not sure where to post this, but I know my problem arises from either my table or my textbox on my form. My problem is I have a text box on my form where my Managers input text (example below), and at times it cuts off their entries with weird characters. I’m not sure if they have exceeded the text box limit or the memo limit in the table but below is an exact example of what is showing up in the table after they submit their entry. Any help on this would be great.

Of the 1,800 unit decline, 684 were empties. The load decline of 1,116 can be summed up in the following lanes and beneficial owners. Chicago to Austell -200 loads, Georgia Pacific. This freight now moves over the road. Chicago to Harrisburg/Rutherford - 353 loads, SC Johnson business lost to JB Hunt back in September. Inbound/Outbound Jersey business lost to CSX last October, -226 loads. 2005 we moved right at 450 loads from Jacksonville/Austell to Bethlehem/Rutherford and Chicago for the yearly Wal-Maů?Ā

Crashes While Adding Data Into Access Memo Fields

Jan 7, 2013

We are running many MS Access databases in a mixed estate - mostly Windows XP terminals. The databases are split with the front end on the desk top and the back ends on a server running Windows Server 2003. We have a chronic problem of crashes when users go back into memo fields to add data - all text. The problem is intermittent, not possible to reproduce and varies in frequency.

Forms :: Handling Large Amount Of Data In Memo Field

Jun 9, 2013

My DVD library database I have a memo field which has the description of the movies.

In some cases, like my tv show records, I have a lot of data because of the episodes and episode descriptions.

I'm currently displaying this data using a split form with the datasheet on the left

I must use a small font in the memo field in order to display all data.

I could use a larger font and simply scroll but I'm looking for an alternative.

I've even thought of creating a hyperlink filed and point to the movie on IMDB's web site. But when I click the link nothing happens even though I copied and pasted the link into the field.

Data Type?

Mar 5, 2007

Hi,
Trying to get back into Access after a long time, just need some refreshing :) tips.

I have 2 tables, one of the tables stores titles (mr, mrs, etc). I tried using the 'lookup' data type to link the data from the other table. This however stores the field as a number and causes problems on my form as only a number is shown rather that the text.

What do I need to do to resolve this? :confused:

Thank you.

Importing Data From Excel To Memo Field In Access Is Truncated After 255 Characters

Nov 16, 2007

I haven't seen anyone run into this particular problem on this forum...

I'm importing data from an excel spreadsheet to an MS Access (2007) table. One of the fields in the table is a text memo field able to support more than 255 characters...

Issue:
The issue is that any cell in Excel that is greater than 255 characters is truncated when imported to MS Access even though the field is a memo field. There isn't any documentation on Microsoft's website about this and I don't see any way to work around it other than manually copying the data from excel to MS Access.

Anyone have any input on this matter?

Thanks in advance!
