memo datatype in database

[billwagnon]

I am trying to use a memo datatype in a database, for a notes section on a form. For some reason, it is being restricted to 5 or six characters when I enter it through the Visual Data Manager.

Any ideas? Thanks for your help!

Make sure that the Fixed Length check box is
unchecked and that the Variable Length Check
Box is Checked.

I have "Allow zero length" checked, "Required" not checked,
"Size" = 0, "Type" = Memo, and when
I enter data in the Visual Data Manager,
it gets to 8 characters and stops.

Any other ideas?
