Would like to know what the best option is for adding several lines of text to a field of an access database(more than 255 characters of text). The text would be a recipe for example or the method of making the dish. Is it possible to add a textfile to a field of an access database for example?
Kind regards
You can use the Memo field type. It stores up to 63,999 characters.
Here are the details:

OLE Object also let you store Word Documents and so on. So you can try using it if you are still short with 63,999 characters.
Hope this helps you
