Good day,
I have a db that can merge with text from other files creating a large text field. Sometimes greater that the 250 or so characters an Access field can handle. I would like to have these text fields able to be updated so they can probably get pretty large. Any ideas how to handle this?

TIA -
Jay

Using a mouse in Excel is the work equivalent of wearing a lanyard when you first get to college
If you change the data type to memo, you will be able to store up to 65,535 characters.

Hope this helps.
