hyperlink fields length restriction?

[Eric]

I have a form with a text field, where I have set the hyperlink property to
true (in the textfield in the form, not in the table). However, it seems
that when I try to enter or paste a link into the field that is too long, it
won't accept it? Shorter links work fine, but with longer links I can't save
the record and I get no error either.

Any clues?

In table design, change the field type from Text to Memo so it can store
more than 255 characters.

(The Hyperlink field type uses Memo beneath the scenes.)
