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

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 :-(

Ken try this article
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
