Default Limited amount of characters displayed in report. - 06-23-2010 , 07:30 AM






If I make a report one field displays limited amount of characters
(252) while another field has no limitation.
Both fields has format "Memo" and data of the respective fields is
filled form the same form and is stored in the same table.

Access 2003.

Do you mean both fields are memo fields?

Have you applied any formatting to the memo field or control that is being
truncated (to 255 characters)? Using the format property on a control that is
bound to a memo field will truncate the memo field to 255 characters when it
is displayed.

You will also see the same behavior if you apply the formatting in the query.

What I mean one field on the report has limited amount of characters
while another field is filled will all the text. Both coming from two
fields on the Form.
I found out in the Table, both of the fields are formatted Memo with
no limitations in lengths.

Where should I check?

Did you check the control on the report and make sure it has no format applied?

He could also create a new report. Let's say a record, ID 50, has 2
memo fields that exceed 255 chars.
Select * from Table1 where ID = 50
Save as Query1. Then use a wizerd to create a new report. See if that
works.

Also, is the field set to CanGrow = No?

I have removed \300 which was filled in the first field of Format tab
under the field properties of the report. Works. Thank you.
