Re: [ODBC] Unbound text box, Text > 255 characters, MSAccess/PostgreSQL

What version of Access?
Confirm that Access is interpreting the target field as MEMO, (either look at the linked table in design
mode, or use Tools->Analyze->Documenter).
For the query, determine the "type" of the parameter - Query menu->Parameters. Be sure you are using type
MEMO.

By the way, 3271 is a Jet error -- Invalid property value.

Good luck.

It seems that DAO query can't accept Memo as parameter, but only text. If my text exceeds length of 255, I have an VBA error 3271. If text in unbound text box is shorter that 255 everything is OK.
