    Is it possible to make 'long text' longer?

    I have a large spreadsheet with one column of information which is longer than what access accepts as long text. So when I convert the spreadsheet to access all the large boxes of information are shortened so that I am losing a lot of information.

    I just found the answer.

    I understand I can change the "long text" file to a "memo" file.

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