    Default Memo in list box

    Hi,

    Is there any way to put a memo field in a list box, at
    least for searching purposes? (even if it cuts part of
    the text off), thanks in advance.

    Default Re: Memo in list box

    Yes, you can get up to 255 characters by using one of the string functions.

    Sample SQL statement as Records Source for a listbox.

    SELECT Left(SomeMemo,100) as StartMemo
    FROM TableName
    ORDER BY Left(SomeMemo,100)
