I managed to create a access database. Very simplistic at this point. I see that I can enter alot of characters per column which brings me to the question.

\r\nWill a access column hold more characters of string than a element of a 2D string array?

\r\nA part of my program allows for repair order explanation. This can be a lengthy as 4 pages in a complex installation or a major troubleshooting job. I would like to be able to use one column and one element of a string array to hold this info.

Default Access Columns vs 2D Array


I managed to create a access database. Very simplistic at this point. I see that I can enter alot of characters per column which brings me to the question.

Will a access column hold more characters of string than a element of a 2D string array?

A part of my program allows for repair order explanation. This can be a lengthy as 4 pages in a complex installation or a major troubleshooting job. I would like to be able to use one column and one element of a string array to hold this info.

Quick simple example
Code:
Dim Explanation(10,2) as String
Explanation(1,1) = " *** Here is where the very long string would be placed *** "
