Hello

I have a collegue who has an access database who wants to import data that
exceeds 255 characters which I believe is the limit for text data. This
particular columm will probably contain paragraphs and paragraphs of text
depending on the record entered. Is there another datatype (like memo) that
can accommodate paragraphs of text in a cell?

Harry,
you can import text into a memo field using the import wizard.
Give it a try.
