    Exclamation How to Export Access memo field 87,000 bytes

    I'm trying to export to a text file. I have memo fields that are in some cases 87,000 bytes. I've found how to change Export to tell it I'm exporting a memo field, but it asks for a field length. If I use anything greater the 30,000 it won't work.

    I'm using Win XP sp3 with Access 2007



    Suggestions? I can work in VBA if needed.

    Been here - followed the links - no help for the 30,000 - one did note a 32,000 memo field limit - out of date...

    Been here too. that's how I got up to 30,000 bytes - not the answer

    I'm at a loss as to why this suggested. Unless I'm missing something, this is a request for a solution and I can find no solution.

    Anyone?

    Review of articles and threads suggested to learn from others experience, even if we learn there is no solution. Since you already tried the only possible solution I could find, perhaps there is none and the only thing left is to understand. The third link shows someone was desperate enough to pay for a solution - did they ever get it - don't know. Are you at that point?

    Only thing I can think of is to break up the memo string into smaller segments and save to a temporary table into separate fields. Export that table.
