Ok i'm pulling data out of an access data field of type Memo and trying to put it into a SQL Server field of type text. It truncates the data at 256 characters and I can't seem to find any options to get it to do all the text. I searched the forum and Google but all I found was a registry update/hack for Excel that doesn't seem to do anything. In the same HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Jet\4.0 I tried to change the MaxBufferSize for Jet 4.0 but that didn't seem to change anything. Does anyone have any idea how I could get the full memo field from the access database into the text field of the SQL database?

how do you know it only saves 256 characters?

just curious how you verified the saved data, if QA, you might be seeing a limit on QA view, you can extend this under Tools-->Options-->Editor tab

That worked. Thanks... I wasted a bunch of time looking for a problem that wasn't even a problem.

edit: I guess thats happened to everyone at least once.
