Edit Memo Field? |
|---|
| message from =?Utf-8?B?ampvNDEz?= on 19 May 2004 |
I've just converted my Alpha5 filrs to Access 2003.
In Alpha5 I was able to see the entire memo field by clicking on it to create & edit it.
In Access I haven't as yet found any way to see the entire contents of a "Memo" field so I can edit it.
Is ther a way to do this?

Given that a Memo field can be up to 2 GBytes in size (if it's filled
programmatically) or 64KBytes (using the user interface), you'll need
a very large screen and very small fonts to see it all!
That said - you can create a Form based on your table, and bind the
memo field to a textbox which can be as large as the form (22" by
22"), and which can have a scrollbar so that you can use a more
reasonable size control. Forms are MUCH more useful for data editing
than table datasheets, I'd recommend using forms routinely.
If you need to edit the data in a table datasheet, you can "zoom" it
by selecting the field and pressing Shift-F2. An editable window
containing the memo data will pop up.
