I connect to a MS Access database with a table containing a "memo" field and try to display/edit its content.

When I choose a Text Field, I can make the text wrap but it is truncated after 255 characters.

When I choose a Pattern Field, the text is not truncated but does not wrap.

How do I get both worlds?

(With a Base LongText field the Form wizard apparently creates a Pattern Field, but text entry is limited to 255 characters anyway. I understand this is a known issue.)
