I have an application written in Access 97 that connects to a SQL2000
backend. One field is a description field that is a data type NTEXT in the
SQL database. In my access form, I can not enter more than 255 characters.

Before I converted the backend to SQL, the description field was a memo
field in Access.

What do I need to do to make it so I can enter more text into this field?
 
NChar, NVarChar, and NText are double-byte unicode types. For
example, nchar(10) will hold 10 bytes of data but takes 20 bytes of
space. Convert the field's datatype to Text and you should be fine.

Look up "data types-SQL Server, described" in Books Online for more
info.
