Send Object Message Text Help

[Shawn]

Hi,

I have an e-mail button on a data entry form. The Send
object reads in the description =[Forms]![Name of Form]!
[description] into the message. But, it cuts off the
description. It won't put the entire description into the
message. How can I fix this problem? Is there a limit to
the amount of characters that can carry over to the
message?

Thanks,
Shawn

There may be a limit, but it's not very small -- I can get over 500
characters in with no problem. How big is the [description] field
you're trying to put in the message? Please post the code you're using;
maybe there's something there that is truncating the field contents.

Dirk,
This is the code(below) that I have in the message text
box of the Macro. Issue Description is setup as a "memo"
max of 65,000 characters (or something like that), but
when I carry it over to the e-mail, it appears that its
putting it over to text, 255 characters. That is my
guess. I'm certainly not getting 500 like you are.

="You have been assigned the following item from the ANO-1
SG/RVCH Action Tracking Database: " & [Forms]!
[Contingency Issues]![Issue Description]

Thanks,
Shawn
