What is the query that is the row source property for the combobox? Please post the SQL.

Let me explain better:
My combo box has a query as its row source, but is not limited to list.
In order to test if the combo box box is limited to 255 characters , I pasted 2 pages of text from a Word document to the combo Box and I am able to see that the Combo Box is not limited to 255 characters.
When I use the query to populate the combo box, it is limited to 255 characters, When I use . Dlookup in VBA to populate the combo box it can go beyond 255 characters.

Hi Sarah,
I guess I'm confused. Does your combo box have a query or table as its Row Source? What is the Row Source?
What do you mean by "copy / paste 2 pages of text from a Word document into the combo box"?

When I use Dlookup, I am able to load more than 255 characters in the combobox.
Dont understand why Dlookup works, but not query.

So apparently you are creating value list combo boxes? I never use them since I use tables/queries as my row sources.
Again, I don't think a column value from a combo box will ever return more than 255 characters. You can use a field in a table with more than 255 characters but it has been my experience that referencing that field/column will truncate the value to 255 characters.

I was able to copy / paste 2 pages of text from a Word document into the combo box. So it does not seem like the combo box is limited. If I try to load a Memo field from a table or query, it only loads the first 255 characters.

I am typing into an unbound combo box. There does not seem to be a character limitation.

Sarah,
How are you typing directly into a combo box?
What is the Row Source of the combo box?

Duane,
Even before I load it into the combo box, it only shows 255 characters. I am able to type more than 255 characters directly into the combo box.

Sarah,
This is a limitation of combo boxes. The largest text in any column of a combo box is 255 characters.
You need to grab the full value from the field in some other way.

Subject: [MS_AccessPros] Memo Field
I have a table that has a Memo field defined.
I use a query to select the fields and load the Memo field into an unbound combo box on a form.
The problem is that only the first 255 characters of the memo field are loaded in the combo box.
I checked the query and it shows the full length of the memo.
My vba:
Me.PROBLEMCOMBO = Me.selcp.Column(1)
VBA does not 'see' Me.selcp.Column(1) as a Memo field. I deubg.print Me.selcp.Column(1 and it shows only the first 255 characters.
How do I define a Memo in VBA?
I am using MS Access 2003
Thanks for your help
Sarah
