UML Profile memo data type

[rupertkiwi]

Hi there,

How do I create a datatype of memo for an attribute in a UML Profile?

I have extended a Class stereotype with additional tags, but the only data types I seem to be able to select are :

Boolean
byte
char
double
float
int
long
short

I need to store a large amount of text data which is why I wanted to create the memo datatype. Or can any of the above data types be used?

thanks,
Rupert

Ignore the type field; just give your attribute an initial value of '<memo>'.

Thanks KP.

I am trying to import in some text fields via a script but I keep getting the error message below:


Runtime error '-2147221504 (80040000)':
DAO.Field [3163]
The field is too small to accept the amount of data you attempted to add. Try inserting or pasting less data.


I tried changing the data type to memo but I am still getting this error message. How do I fix this?

Thanks,
Rupert

Rupert,

For a "memo" tagged value you have to enter the data into the notes field.
The value field is only used to contain the string "<memo>"

Thanks for your help Geert.

That did the trick
