Default Memo Field Truncates my Data in Table?!

Ok - from what I understand a "MEMO" field type should allow at least 65k
worth of data to be saved in your database table. However, I am manually
opening my table and typing in text that is a half a dozen sentences and when
I hit enter to move onto the next field - it truncates my data. I go back to
the field in the table and only 255 characters exists.

Can someone please explain wtf is going on here? Yes, I'm absolutely certain
in database design the "MEMO" type is selected. This does not make sense to
me, and I'm not very familiar with access(I'm a SQL 2005 guy personally).

Please help, any insight is much appreciated!!!

Thank you
