Hi there,
I have a database with cut off data (error when import from different source) and assumed by using LEN query it will return any records which has 255 characters from the ProductDescription field...

I saw one suggestion by using LEN([fieldname]) however not sure how to apply this the select query under design view, can anyone please assist ?

many thanks
 
SELECT * FROM TableName WHERE Len([fieldname]) = 255
