Default Inserting Long Text in a Cell Problem

OK, I got it.

And that without your help!!!(Proud!).

Here's my solution.

If you get the Memo field that is very long(important!!) from Access and
insert it in a cell, Excel will give you #Value! error, the error message of
which is 2015(?? as I recall).

So, I fumbled around and tried to transfer all the data extracted from
Access into Arrays, one of which is one-dimensional and the other is
two-dimensional. And then I tried to insert the array data into cells.

Voila, I didn't get the #Value! error.

I believe that by transferring the data from Access directly into Excel
cells, you are being imposed of some limitations, which I don't know. But by
transferring the Access data into an array or arrays, you will clean the
data ****-free and insert them into Excel cells without hassle.

Thank you all.

Ok, Question ...


1) What is the result of inserting the memo text into a
textbox? Is the text trunckated?
2) Check that you are pasting the memo field content and
not the object pointer or the object itself!

What are your findings?

Dear Colleagues;

Please forgive me if I'm posting this on a wrong

newsgroup but I'm trying to
extract data from Access into Excel.

When I get a data from a Memo field, whose string is very

long(no problem
with short Memo field data), and insert it in a cell of a

worksheet in
Excel, the cell displays #Value instead of its actual

value.

I belive this is a limitation of a text in a cell of

Excel. Is there a way
to go around this problem?

On 2nd thought,

I'm inserting a very long text from a TextBox control on

a UserForm into a
cell without a problem.

Then it may not be with the cell length limitation.

Then I'm totally lost. Please Helpppp!

Suk Ho


Thank you

Suk Ho
