Don't think so - I', not retrieving much data at all. It is also not the CF admin set up as I get the same problem when I run it in Access.
I've been told that this is what Access does to memos when they are grouped. I'll just have to run 2 queries.

In SQL server you cannot have more than 8000 characters per row of data, unless you use BLOBS. I would imagine Access is similar. So any data beyond this gets chopped. russ > -----Original Message----- > From: Giles Roadnight [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: 17 August 2004 21:52 > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: [ cf-dev ] OT: Access queries > > I have two tables: news and comments.
