DRW list options cannot display more than 255 chars from a text field

[Tim Thorp]

I would like to make a definition list (or bullet list) for a databasae
results page that pulls from an Access memo field with more than 255
characters. Every selection available in DRW limits the text to 255
characters. How do I display more of the Characters?

My results should look like:
a.. title: Outlook: Introduction to Email

a.. description: This class will introduce the new email system to users and
allow for some Q&A time in addition to some hands on exercises. It is
designed for individuals who have been upgraded to Outlook. Please take the
class in the same week that you begin using the new system. Topics include
sorting, reading, finding, sending, & organizing messages; making folders,
filtering mail, signatures, contacts, distribution lists, and connecting
from home.

Use a memo field

I am using a memo field in Access, did you mean to use one in Frontpage? How
would I do that?
Thanks,

Tim

Apologies - I misread.
Explain how you are trying :
"Every selection available in DRW limits the text to 255 characters" ?

Thanks for the reply!
DRW 2003 says Choose formatting options for the records returned by the
query. I picked List - one field per item and then under List Options, I
tried each of the options like paragraph, bulleted list, etc.
