I have ta table with a memo field. I want the memo to display in a listbox. The memo could contain a lot of characters. Is there a limit to what can display in a listbox item. I am not seeing the whole field in it....

Thanks

I don't know, but I've read somewhere 255 characters (same as limit on text fields) - just did a quick test, and the limit seems accurate - to tell what I think, I think the listbox isn't intended for Memos (the memo field didn't even show up in the wizard) - but allow me a question - how does this relate to Access Modules/VBA Coding?
