    <p>This is my code:</p> <pre><code>OleDbConnection connection = new OleDbConnection( "Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=c:\\Offline.accdb;Persist Security Info=False"); connection.Open(); OleDbCommand command = connection.CreateCommand(); command.CommandText = "SELECT DISTINCT B.* FROM BlankFormSubmissions B, Actions A WHERE A.FormName = 'FindingNemo' AND B.ProcessName = A.ProcessName AND B.ActionName = A.ActionName AND B.ID = 12 OR B.ID = 13 OR B.ID = 14 ORDER BY B.ID"; OleDbDataReader reader = command.ExecuteReader(); while (reader.Read()) { string xml = (string)reader["XML"]; // ... do something with xml } </code></pre> <p>The column, "XML", is an Access Database table column, of type memo.</p> <p>The value of xml always contains only the first characters of the XML. I'm guessing it's the first 256 characters. Obviously, I need all of the characters in the string.</p> <p>Anyone know how to fix this?</p> <p>Thanks :)</p>

    1. COJust a guess - have you tried crafting the select statement so the XML column is last? In some of the older database systems, the large columns had to be last in the select list.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
