Hi there,

I'm fairly new to access and would like to try and set up
my first database. What I would like to create is a
simple database that allows me and others to keep track of
various work related support issues. My problem lies in
when a user would like to type in a message that would
exceed the 255 characters that a text box seems to allow.
For instance, let's say that I wanted to store this
message here in a particular field? Is this possible?

Thanks for any info,

Nick from Miramichi, NB, Canada.
 
Nick,

If you have a field in your database which will require more than 255
characters, your alternative is to make it a Memo type, rather than a Text
type.

hth,
