    Reading a SQL Server text field using a connection.OpenRecordSet

    Hi:

    I am trying to read a SQL Server text field (Access memo field) using

    connection.Open RecordSet("qry with text field") [ODBCDirect]

    rather than

    database.OpenRe cordSet("qry with text field") [Microsoft Jet]

    When I use the connection.Open RecordSet command, my incoming text field
    cannot more that 500-odd characters, otherwise the query bombs. This
    isn't the case for database.OpenRe cordSet.

    Is there something that I can do when I open the connection to make the
    SQL Server text fields Access receives in a query longer than 500
    fields? Maybe a property on the workspace? The queries with
    connections are naturally much faster than with databases.
