Why not just use the Left() function (in either Access or CF) to extract
however much of the text you want to display?

Subject: Excerpt
I'm trying to build a tag that gets the article text from an access memo
field and returns part of it as a news excerpt on another page. I thought of
doing a cfhttp from the main news page and stripping it down, but I think
that would be slow and I was wondering if anyone had a better suggestion?
