Recently ive noticed that if I change a text field into a memo field then I
have to recreate any associated text boxes on the form. If I dont then only
the first 256 characters will display although it will store more ie if you
enter 400chars then it will store & display 400chars until you change
records or refresh after which it will only display the first 256 chars. Is
this normal behaviour - am I missing/not changing something in the
properties for the text box. I have looked at an old vs recreated and cant
see any diff.

Uncheck the Name AutoCorrect boxes under:
Tools | Options | General
The compact the database.

Also, make sure there is nothing in the Format property of the field in your
table, and nothing in the Format property of the text box on your form.
