    You will have to make them both memo, or both text.

    What data is in the memo fields, and how long is it? Remember that text fields can contain a maximum of 255 characters, so that may limit what you can do.

    Please provide more information about the data you are working with.

Please reply to this thread with any new information or opinions.
