Forms :: Log History Of Inputs - Using ComboBox To Update Memo Field
Jun 25, 2013I am currently using the column history to log the history of inputs into a memo field.
But i now need to swap how my database runs and now require a combo box to have the same history function, as this is for a status updates and i require users to only input certain status's.
I no that I cant use the columnhistory command with a combo box.
When selecting a status from the combo box it automatically update the memo field (which will be hidden on the form) so the column history function works.

Query A Memo Field
May 31, 2005Greetings 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.

Memo Field Is Truncated By Query
Mar 14, 2007I am using a 'memo' field in a table because the field size needs to be more than the maximum for a 'text' field (255 characters).
Although the text appears in full in the table, when I run a query to select certain records from that table the text in the memo field is truncated to 255 characters.
Anyone know how to correct this?
Not Getting Entire Data From Memo Field On Query
Aug 24, 2005Hi all,
I had table with following data
Table
f1 f2 f3
1 10 aa......
1 11 aaa...
2 10 bb...
2 11 bb.......
f3 is memo field
I had to retrieve data by grouping records based on f1 value
so i gave groupby in totals section to f3 field also.
I am getting the values correctly, but memo field is truncating.
Its only displaying first half arround 236 charecters only.
If i query directly without performing any group by
then i am getting entire data for the memo field.
please any one give the solution.
waiting for your help.
Thanks

Union Query Truncates Memo Field????
Jan 4, 2005I created a Union Query for several linked Excel tables. Certain fields in the Excel table exceed 256 characters and Access (rightfully so) assigns these fields as "Memo". I have create a report based upon the Union Query; however, it will truncate the "Memo" fields to 255 (or 256 characters).
As a side note, if I create a report based upon a simple query using only one of the linked tables, it does not truncate the field.
Any suggestions on what maybe causing this truncation issue?
Queries :: Split Memo Field In A Query
Feb 26, 2015I have a table that contains a memo that is delimited by line breaks. For each of these breaks i need a new record in the query results that i can then use in a Labelling application.
My current query looks something like:
ID | Product | Pack Size
1 | item a | 1x1000,1x1050
2 | item b | 1x1000,20x25
3 | item a | 1x1000
(Where the , is a new line)
Whereas my ideal output is:
ID | Product | PackSize
1 | Item a | 1x1000
1 | Item a | 1x1050
2 | Item b | 1x1000
2 | Item b | 20x25
etc.
I think im supposed to use the Split() Function though i dont have a clue wherw to start.

When I redesign the query and take out the "totals", I see the entire comments.
Is there a fix to this?

General :: Concatenate Two Text Fields Into A Memo Field In Query?
Sep 5, 2014I'm trying to concatenate two text fields into a memo field using an expression in a select query. My problem is that the text fields together end up more than 255 characters, so I need the resulting field to be a memo instead. I can't change the underlying text fields to memo fields because this is a large database used by others who need those fields to be text.

Update Memo Value
Sep 19, 2006Is 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

Update A Form Field By Double Clicking A Query Field
Apr 25, 2013I have 3 peices of data that I am working with: Group number, plans and benefit elections. On my form I have fields for the group number and plan and 2 queries. When I enter a group number the first query displays a list of plan descriptions for that group. From there I can enter the plan description into the form's plan field and that runs the second query to give me a list of valid elections for that plan. This all works fine but I want to make the plan selection a little less tedious. What I would like is to be able to double click the query field housing the plan description and have it copied to the form's plan field. I could use the ID instead of the plan description but I work in a production environment and very key stroke counts so I would really like to have a simple double click process.
Is this even possible? If so how would I set that up? I tried using the double click on event macro builder but it does not seem to have this kind of option.
My form contains fields for group number and Plan. The same form houses 2 querys, one that pulls plans based on the group number and the other to pull elections based on the plan field (not the plan query). Would like to double click a plan within the plan query and have that description populated into the form's plan field.
Converting A Text Field To A Memo Field
Jan 4, 2006I 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,

Memo Field Not Showing More Than 255
Jun 23, 2006Hi 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.

Memo Field Length
Mar 26, 2007Hello,
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

Memo Field Truncating :s
Nov 23, 2005Hi,
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???
