Limitations in MS Query?
 

This message was originally posted in the Word-discussion group, but I was
recommended to post it here instead:

I have a Word-document that collects data from a database through MS Query
and joins them to a letter.
This has been working very well until just recently. It seems that if a
field in the database contains a very long text MS Query is unable to handle
the data. In my example a field in the database containing 42219 characters
in 595 rows causes MS Query to crash.

Does anyone know the exact number of characters or rows that is the maximum
content in a field in MS Query?

I will need to redesign my database and it would be very helpful if I could
get the exact number instead of doing trial and error.
