Im out putting the value like this: "&top5.fields("features")&
it should say (straight from the database, hasnt been trimmed):
Hail Caesar! The best selling city builder series returns. Caesar IV takes the ancient city builder to the next generation with leading edge graphics and expanded control over the Roman Empire. Developed by the award winning creators of Caesar III and Pharaoh, Caesar IV is sure to please the masses.
Theres no obvious reason why it shouldn't work.
I would suggest taking the text out of the database, pasting it into notepad or something similar and then pasting it back into the database. This is purely to see if there is maybe a rogue character in the field that is preventing the full text from displaying.
Set Top5=Server.CreateObject("
Top5Games="SELECT TOP 5 Sum(cust_orders.qty) AS SumOfQuantity,product_info
Top5Games=Top5Games&"FROM product_info INNER JOIN cust_orders ON product_info.prodcode=cust
Top5Games=Top5Games&"WHERE
Top5Games=Top5Games&"GROUP
Top5Games=Top5Games&"ORDER
Top5.open Top5Games,oConn
OLEDB
Couple of other things to try that have worked with older MDAC versions and access queries, not tried it on recent versions (in the last 2 years). They may sound odd, but each one changes the way things run in the connection.
Make the memo field the last entry in the select statement
Try changing the open mode to Top5.open Top5Games,oConn,3,3
Try defining the select as a query and then selecting * from the query
The first option has worked for me more often than not in older mdac/access sites.
As Carl said, it would help if we knew what the display would look like as there may be a better way to factor the quiery(ies)

Hi, sorry, I've not been able to re-produce the problem, when querying values from a memo field over 256 chars, it works on my setup without any problem so I don't know how I can help any further.
The only recommendation I have left is to try updating to the latest MDAC, or seeing if you can switch to MSDE/SQL Server.
Recommend pts refund.

How are you outputting the value ? What should the full text say ? Have you checked that the description is complete in the database, and hasn't been trimmed down when it was entered ?
