importing large fields from Excel

Just the typical length of a memo field... however, depending upon how you
try to import, you might get truncated data. Provide us with more info about
what you're trying to do.
 
I believe I am in the process of resolving this issue with TransferText. I
am downloading patent data that can have a Description field of 200 +
characters

The CSV file opens in Excel fine, but when I bring over to Access the data
get truncated.
 
TransferText only inported the first row/record, also the memo field was
concatenated to 254 characters.

What am I missing? Or should I look for?

Thanks
 
Post some sample data from the csv file. Are you importing into an existing
table, or to a new table?
 
Ken,

I am using an existing table. Is there a way to attach the csv or xls file.
Also, I will stick with this thread, sorry. Also, file is Access 2000
format, does that make a difference?

Also, why do I only get the 1st data row when I TransferText with CSV?

If you're not using an import specification that you created and stored in
ACCESS, then ACCESS will use a comma as the delimiter. What part of the data
is actually being imported?

What do you want the data to look like when it's imported into ACCESS? All
of what you posted is to be in one field in one record? Or as multiple
records, one for each "line" in the original text.

What is the format of the existing table into which you're trying to import
the data?

Yes, you can link to a csv file as a table in ACCESS, though I'm not sure if
that will be better for you.
