Memo size

[Brian Martin]

I have a field in my table which is a memo type field. However it only holds 255 characters. Why is this? It may have been a text field before I changed it to a memo I cant quite remember. Would this have anything to do with it?

From previous experience: although it only displays 255 characters, your whole memo should be there.

Click on one of the memo cells in your table and hit [Shift]+F2 - is it all still there?

no it's definitely only taking the 255 characters.
