I think there have been a few postings that use code, but for the majority of us non-coders a solution would really make the InfoPath form much more useful. A solution would be an excellent holiday gift to us all! Thanks.https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/thread/1985.aspxTue, 12 Dec 2006 01:48:10 GMT033a2e2d-04e2-4a9d-be01-a4634161eefd:1985hshatto0https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/thread/1985.aspxhttps://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=39&PostID=1985I am having the same issue....Have you found a work around for this problem. I am very interested if you have.https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/thread/1984.aspxFri, 03 Mar 2006 12:46:54 GMT033a2e2d-04e2-4a9d-be01-a4634161eefd:1984vdavej0https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/thread/1984.aspxhttps://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=39&PostID=1984Thanks for the reply but I don't think I can increase the size of the text filed in Access.<br /><br />Here's the issue I am dealing with.<br /><br />Access limits text fields to 255 characters. It's my understanding if you want to input more than 255 characters into a filed you must use a Memo field.<br /><br />InfoPath does not support long data types and Memo fields are long data types. So if you try to bind a text box in InfoPath toa Memo filed in the Access databse, you get an error message - long data types not supported.<br /><br />I'm trying to figure out a way around this.https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/thread/1983.aspxFri, 03 Mar 2006 09:14:17 GMT033a2e2d-04e2-4a9d-be01-a4634161eefd:1983Agni Jonnalagadda0https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/thread/1983.aspxhttps://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=39&PostID=1983Hi Dave, Welcome to the Forum!<br />If you can increase the size of the field in the database then take connection to that table again, then you should be able to accept more than 256 characters.https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/thread/1183.aspxFri, 03 Mar 2006 02:53:04 GMT033a2e2d-04e2-4a9d-be01-a4634161eefd:1183vdavej0https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/thread/1183.aspxhttps://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=39&PostID=1183I have an InfoPath form that submits data to an Access database. I need to be able to write more than 255 characters into the text box fields and store this information into Access. Any ideas on how to accomplish this?<br /><br />I get error messages that Infopath will not support long data types and Access text fields are limited to 255 characters. I can't figure out how to work around this.<br /><br />Any help appreciated. Thanks.<br /><br />Dave
