Try Len(memofield)

Yeah i read that, but where do i put it within the qry window, or do i have to code??

Sorry i'm not very good with access.

You will need to find the longest string in ALL of your records, in the field, so this should do it (replace the table and field names with your own):

SELECT Max(Len([FieldNameHere])) AS FieldLength
FROM TableNameHere;
