Using Access 2003 - I have a table with a memo field. How can I view the
contents of that field?

Generally it's not a good idea to view data directly in a table. If you built a
form you could use a TextBox large enough to see all (or at least considerably
more) of the memo field.

In the table itself you can either make the width of the column and/or the
height of the rows larger or you can place your cursor in the field and then
press <Ctl-F2> to bring up the zoom window.

Thanks for the response but Ctrl F2 doesn't do anything when I have the
cursor in that memo field? I am using Access 2003

Sorry, should have been Shift-F2.
