Hello,

I have merged two databases together, an old and a new one, that have the same data. I used a union all because I have a memo field called Notes in each of them. I then store this merged table into another table on the local hard drive. When I load this data into a userform, all the other fields match, however, certain records have the wrong Notes or nothing at all...

I do this on many computer and each user is getting different results...some have the correct notes, other do not, and other have no notes at all...

Can someone help me?
 
It could be that you have corrupted pointers in one of the original files. Make a backup copy of each of the original files and try to PACK MEMO. Then confirm that they each point to the correct notes.
