My Access 2003 (or 2007) has linked tables to SQL Server 2008 (I'm using SQL Native Client 10). Forms, reports and queries are, naturally, local. Problem: all data nvarchar(max) fields are truncated - in Access the record is chopped - ~ 255 from the end of the record. Can it be fixed? And if yes then HOW?

I don't have the time to test it properly.
Same problem mentioned

Do you have the problem in a blank access 2010 database? As 2003/2007 is out of active support. Office life cycle

No 2010. Why no active support for 2003-2007 (by Microsoft?)
Actually I found the solution - changed (n)varchar(max) to text, and this one Access handles as memo.
Thanks

That may work short term but in the long run that is not going to survive. The text datatype has been deprecated and will be removed in the future.

It will happen to versions later that 2008.

The text datatype is still available even in sql 2012 but it will go away at some point in the future.
