Field being truncated - memo field

Experts,

I have a table: import_excel
I have a query built off of this table: qryDuplicates_Removed (that removes duplicates)

Why would the qry truncated the field [Deliverable] whereas this same exact field in the table import_excel is not truncated?  

thanks

if you wish to see the sql of the Duplicates_Removed qry:

SELECT First(Import_Excel.ID) AS OneID, Import_Excel.Deliverable, Import_Excel.Frequency, Import_Excel.[Section Referenced], Import_Excel.Timing, Import_Excel.[End or Start Date comments], Import_Excel.Agreement, Import_Excel.Comments, Import_Excel.[Area of Responsibility], Import_Excel.Description, Import_Excel.Receivor
FROM Import_Excel
GROUP BY Import_Excel.Deliverable, Import_Excel.Frequency, Import_Excel.[Section Referenced], Import_Excel.Timing, Import_Excel.[End or Start Date comments], Import_Excel.Agreement, Import_Excel.Comments, Import_Excel.[Area of Responsibility], Import_Excel.Description, Import_Excel.Receivor;

OK I see it is an issue with Access and not me.  For once I am not wrong!  Wow!  I only spent 1 hour figuring that out.  

Gustav, I see you have provided a work around.  

Macroshadow:  I don't see a solution though.

Gustav:  how would I call that function?  I read your post in the other question and I will create a new module etc etc.  

thank you
