    Field Length Issues,

    All

    i have a spreadsheet system that imports data from an .mdb including a memo box, but the limit on excels displayed and printed data (1024 characters i think) is causing issues!

    is anyone aware of a method using VBA that i can use to ensure i can see all the text that is in the memo box not just the 1024(?) characters?

    Re: Field Length Issues,

    How many characters do you need?

    Do the rest show up in the formula bar?

    shg,

    it is all displayed in the formula bar, but the field is cut off, the memo box on the mdb can take upto one A4 page in size 10 arial, i am unsure as to how many characters that is?

    Maybe 4000, depending on margins.

    Select the cells of interest and run this. I could show over 7000 characters.
