sort records by size of items in memo field, or pull those > 255 s
I just created tables, but took errors because 3 fields had text too large
for the text field (255). I re-created the tables using memo instead of text for the field, and now I would like to go back to these new tables and find the records that were too big for the text field (255 in size) - how to do it based on the size of the items in the memo field - can I do a query of all records where that field is greater than 255 char, or can I sort the table in ascending or decending order based in the item size in that field - or are all the those fields the same size now? |

-----Original Message----- I just created tables, but took errors because 3 fields had text too large for the text field (255).

This is it in query design. nameofqueryfield: len([memo]) You can sort it like any other field in query design. Hope this helps Martin |
