Hi,

What's the difference between VarChar, Text and Memo in Microsoft Access ?

Regards, MadSeb

+2  A: 

According to this page

  • Access Text is equivalent to sql server VARCHAR
  • Access Memo is equivalent to sql server TEXT
renick
what about Access VARCHAR ??
MadSeb
Does access have a VARCHAR type? I thought that was just in SQL server. You can have Unicode fields in access but they don’t have their own type like NVARCHAR –v- VARCHAR. Other than that I cant add to the answer renick gave

yep I can do this in Microsoft Access : ALTER TABLE MYTABLE ALTER COLUMN MYCOLUMN VARCHAR(255)
