    Hi friends,

    Can you help with my problem, I need to save text of more than 255 characters in my database and also I need to index it to speed up the search time, I can't use Text type field because it can contain 255 characters, hence Memo is the solution - but Memo fields cannot be indexed, so what to do ??

    I appreciate your prompt answer,

    Thank you in advance,

    Wesam

    You could have multiple 255 records that would contain the data. For example

    Table1
    Unique Identifier
    Memo field


    would be equivalent to


    Table2
    Unique Identifier
    Sequence number
    text(255)
