I'm writing an app that will store an html page's source into a field. I came across a file that was larger than 64k and the field in Access of datatype memo, choked. Basicly I learned there was a 64k limit on the Memo field... How the heck do you store a text file larger than 64k in an Access database???

I'd appreciate any help.

try the "ole object" field, you have a choice to insert data into the table or link to a file
