Memo fields in a combo box

[didi]

Hi Guys,

I am currently trying to get a combo box to be filled with memo fields
coming from a query but whenever i do the wizard it will not see the
memo fields to be picked only integer files, is it not possible to get
a combo box filled with memo fields?

Try creating a query that selects the fields you want.
Then set the combo's RowSource property to this query.

No. Bear in mind that a memo field could in principle contain a GIGABYTE of
data - an entire encyclopedia!

You can display the leftmost 255 characters of a memo field, but in general
one would not want to do so; a combo box doesn't allow multiple lines to be
displayed, just for one thing.

What are you trying to accomplish here? What will be done with this combo?
