Access 2010 query truncates memo field

Question

I have the following query in access used in a report for data selection. It works except that it truncates the What_happened field.

The sql database has the what_happened field as a nvarchar(max) - access 2010 see's it as a memo field.

I need to be able to see the full contents of the what_happened field on the report form

Thank you,

Steve

A great many things cause memo fields to be truncated. In a report, you can DlookUp the memo or use another query to get the full text.

There is a pretty good list of possible reasons here: http://allenbrowne.com/ser-63.html
