Union Query - Specification Limits

I have a union query which runs 18 different append queries (from 9 different db's). This works fine.

The 9 databases are 9 different countries. I now need to add a new Country (10th db = 2 more queries) and I get the following error "The text is too long to be edited" when I try to add the 2 new sql statements in the current Union Query.

The 2 Append queries on their own run fine and append records like the others.

Is there a limit in the lenght of the text of a Union Query?

Thanks in advance.
