I know this is beyond the topic of fixing your current situation, but I wanted to throw this out there.

I had trouble with a table with many memo field. It caused me no end of troubles. The table held ITEMS that were for sale. I split out all of the fields to another table called ITEMS_EXTRA that held basically all of memo field information.

It held the primary key, the foreign key to the item table, the memo field type, memo field contents, date created and by who, date last updated and by who.

By splitting the memo fields away from the more conventional data, it made the entire data system more stable and maintainable.

HTH,
Kevin
