Hi,
I am trying to devise a database where in a field I can c+p the contents of an email. However, the problem with this is that there is a restriction on the number of characters.
Is there any way I can attach an email to an entry in a database so that when a person looks at a particular record they can see any corresponding email.
Regards

What is the fastest way to copy a formula?
If A2:A50000 contain data. Enter a formula in B2. Select B2. Double-click the Fill Handle and Excel will shoot the formula down to B50000.
Hi

What is the restriction you're talking about? If you use the Memo type field in your table then this can store about 64,000 characters, which would be a fairly sizable email message. If you wanted to store more than that then you'd probably have to break down the message into chunks so you'd have something like a MESSAGE_HEADER table (where you store things like recipients, date, subject) and a MESSAGE_DETAIL table (where you store the text of the message).
