George;

From the MSDN Library under "memo field type": “Memo fields are limited only by the amount of available disk space.” Interesting… I truly thought there was a 2 gig limit to a memo field. Does anyone have a more in depth analysis? Otherwise we have to use our faith to believe this statement. Being named Thomas does allow me to ask questions!
