Periods in text fields

[jgarnick]

I have a text field in a table.&nbsp;&nbsp;An entry in that field should read &quot;Red is the color....&quot; (quotations included).&nbsp;&nbsp;But when the user enters it, Access 97 limits it to only three periods.<br><br>Anyone know why?&nbsp;&nbsp;Thanks- <p>jgarnick<br><a href=mailto:jgarnick@aol.com>jgarnick@aol.com</a><br><a href= > </a><br>

jgarnick,<br><br>Works fine for me.&nbsp;&nbsp;Did you check the field width for the table/Field in question?<br><br><br>MichaelRed<br>There is never time to do it right but there is always time to do it over<br>

Thanks--the field length is very long--I just tried it on my computer at home, and it worked fine, but it did not work on the laptop at work.&nbsp;&nbsp;Hmmmm......<br><br>It does put some funky black bar after you type the third period though, but looks fine when you preview/print it.<br><br> <p>jgarnick<br><a href=mailto:jgarnick@aol.com>jgarnick@aol.com</a><br><a href= > </a><br>

I have the same problem with memo fields in Access97, I assume the same would happen in a text field but it has never occured.&nbsp;&nbsp;The computers here also substitute the black bar for the three periods, let me know if you find a solution to this strange problem.&nbsp;&nbsp;I'll ask around and see what I can find out as well. <p>xtreme1<br><a href=mailto:rbio@excite.com>rbio@excite.com</a><br><a href= > </a><br>
