truncated data from linked excel worksheet?

[amk]

I have linked tables between excel and access 2003 that contain cells with
text. In excel they are formatted as "general" and in access they are
formatted as a memo field. However in the Access table, it truncates the data
to about 250 characters. I don't appear to have an input mask or a format
defined - but I am new at this. Any help would be much appreciated - thanks!

Hi,

Alas, this is normal behaviour. See
