Question

When I export Microsoft Project Tasks to an Excel Spreadsheet the notes are
abbreviated. I would like to export the full task notes. The full task notes
will print, so they must be stored someplace.

I also tried exporting the full MPP file to an Access DB but once again the
task notes were abbreviated.

sopunds liek a well known issue with the way memo fields are handled within the JET SQL engine. its very common for the memo datatype to be truncated to 255 characters.

usually the problem is caused by doing 'something' tot he memo field inside a query, that could be converting case, manipualting the data (eg adding it to other columns). IIRC it can also be banjaxed if its used in a sort.
