Where can I store description in Access database

[jane]

Hi
I am now creating a table to contain serveral fields. But one of the fields would be descriptions and its content contains serveral paragraphs. In Access, it only allows (at most) 255 long if I define the column as text. Anybody knows where i should put the descriptions?

Thanks a lot,

Try a memo field..

I tried but failed. It said that the text was too long to fit in.
Any other suggestions, please?

Thanks,

I believe that a memo field is that largest that Access supports. It will go up to 65,535 characters.

I'm sorry. I accidentally pasted the big chunk of data into "description" of "table design".
Yeah, I tried to pasted the data into the field defined as memo, and it worked.

Thank you very much!
