Text field > 255 ???

[Andrew]

Hi there,

Does anyone know how to store more than 255 characters in a single field ?
I would like to store some text but do not want to split it up over numerous fields ?

thanks a lot,
Andrew

Hi Andrew,

Use a Memo field datatype (65,535 characters)instead of a
Text datatype (255 characters max.)

Thanks, it works a treat !
Define as Memo instead of text
A Memo field can store up to 64,000
