Solved Append Query not copying all data from memo field (1 Viewer)

[murray83]

Hi All

have a slight issue and have searchd and it seems like it's a known bug, but cant find any fixes

so have a table which has a memo field and is set ot rich text, which is fine as it shows all information as it should

but then i have an extract data table as we need to run a report each week so need to quick put in a date and then show data for that day, but the error is this; even though the extract data table also has the same field ( as its append ) set to memo and rich text it cuts of some of the data

please see attached for example any help would be greatfully apperciated

Can we see your append process please?

Of course

Thanks. If you change that append query to a select query, is the memo field truncated?

Afraid so see below attached showing the results and the query changed from append to select

Fixed it, yippeee

all i had to do was view the SQL and remove the DISTINCT from the below so now it looks like this

INSERT INTO tblExtractData
SELECT tblChargingTable.*
FROM tblChargingTable
WHERE (((tblChargingTable.AppointmentDate) Between Forms!frmMain!txtChooseFrom And Forms!frmMain!txtChooseTo) And ((tblChargingTable.SupplierCode)<>"CSHC001"));

Ah, that's the piece we can't see from the images. I was looking for Group By but didn't see them.

Good luck with your project.
