I did not know just where to poet this.  I hpe this is at
least close.

I have linked tables in my SQL server PE to a database
using ODBC.

The problem is that all of the data types on the linked
tables is coming across as memo.  They are defined
correctly in the server.

I am using Access 2003 on XP.

Any responses are appreciated.

Thanks

Ken

Ken

If the columns on the Sql Server are defined as varchar or nvarchar AND the
length is set to > 255 then an Access MDB will see the field as a Memo type
as Access does NOT support a text fields whose length is > 255.

As far as I am aware there is NO workaround for this.  Sorry :-(

259893 ACC2000: Formatted Memo Field Appears to Truncate
Data After 255
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=259893

As per Access any TEXT field greater then 255 character
is taken as MEMO

Hope this helps
