I have a textbox tied to a dataset and then into an Access database. The textbox is set with a maxlength of 0. The field in the Access database is a memo field. Where the dataset is defined, the field is set as string. The textbox will accept unlimited (or 65000+) characters, and I know a memo field is the same length in Access, but when the contents of the field are saved, I believe it is truncated at 255. I'm thinking it is because in the dataset the field is defined as a string. Does a string have a limit? I noticed there was a notation option, should I use that? Thanks!
