I've seen alot of recent post about people trying to query a memo field and it being limited, and I have tried all of the fixes people mentioned, but to no avail, have I been able to fix it. Here is a copy of my query, hopefully someone can figure out what I can do, thanks in advance

Assuming the memo field is:
tblCommentsandAttendance.Comments
try choosing:
First
in the Total row under this field in query design, instead of:
Group By

This means Access does not have to actually group the data on the memo
field - something that restricts it to the first 255 characters. Instead, it
is free to just choose the first match for the memo field, and return the
whole thing.

On a different topic, it's a really good idea to declare your parameters so
Access/JET will not misunderstand the data type. Choose Parameters from the
Query menu, and enter them one per line, e.g.:
[Forms]![frmCommentsforIndividuals]![UNumber] Long
[Forms]![frmMain]![Date1]
Date/Time

Thank you and I had seen your earlier post or someone else's post about using First. However when the query is run(I use this query on a report), It does not pull the comments, but ask's the user for to input the comments when they've already wrote their comments in a previous form. Checking the table, the comment is saved there already and seems quite ridiculous and redundant for them to re-type it out again. Any inside clue to that? :) Any help is appreciated

When you choose First in the query, you get a different field name output.

Open your report in design view.
Change the ControlSource of your Comments field to:
FirstOfComments
or whatever name appears in the Field List (View menu).
