This (http://www.pcreview.co.uk/forums/thread-1138891.php) seems to suggest
that UNION ALL might be your answer.

Thanks for your answer. I tried the UNION and it did what I wanted (it
pulled the "content" field from either the B table or the C table based on
the value of the 'status" field in the A table).

However, when I output the "content" field with:

CFOUTPUT   #QueryName.content#   /CFOUTPUT 

......the output shows only the first 255 characters of the "content" field
(the maximum length for an Access text field), although the field is set to
"memo" in both tables B and C. Can this be fixed, or is it a limitation of
UNION?

Thanks,

Roberto
