Not being able to see what you are typing why you are in the Memo field

[Tami Kreamer]

Memo fields can be 5 to 30 pages long. When data entry person gets to a
certain point they cannot see what they are typing. It is almost like as
soon as they get to a certain point it says return to top of page instead of
seeing what you are typing on the screen in front of you.

Any suggestions why would be appreciated.

Hi Tami,

A memo datatype can store up to 65,535 characters when data is input via the
graphical user interface (ie. a form). If the Memo field is manipulated
through DAO and only text and numbers [not binary data] will be stored in it,
then the size of the Memo field is limited by the size of the database.
