Memo Field losing data
Roger M 

12 years ago
I have created a database to track inspections on vehicles.  I have a "violations" field.  Because the deficiencies can be long, I have the field as a memo as opposed to text.  For some reason, I enter the data into the memo field but when I close out the form, some of the data is deleted.  Any clue as to where I can look to find out what the problem is? It was not doing this earlier.  I have 87 records so far and each record has multiple lines of text in the memo field.


Reply from Alexander Hedley:

Hi Roger,
Are you copying and pasting the data into the Memo Field?
Is it only a couple of lines of text?
Double check the Field in the Table is Memo and it isn't just Text.

I presume you're using Access 2010 and not 2013 since they changed them from Text and Memo to Short Text and Long Text
