Title: Memo tagged values
Post by: furman76 on September 28, 2011, 01:49:21 am

Hi,

I'm trying to update a tagged value of "memo" type with some 300 bytes through automation interface, but get error

"DAO.Field [3163]

The field is too small to accept the amount of data you attempted to add.  Try inserting or pasting less data."

Therefore, 2 questions:
1) What is the maximum size of a tagged value?
2) Is it possible to access "memo" tagged values through API?

Seems you use tag.value instead of tag.notes?!

Memo tagged values store the value in the Notes field of the tagged value. This is a memo type field; basically unlimited in length.

Yes. Another trick was that once taggedValue.Update() fails, apparently it can't be updated second time. I have to add new value to collection and put notes to it.
