Display an Access Memo field in a GridView or DetailsView

[Hanno]

Hi, I am trying to display a memo field in a grid in. I have tried with the
GridView and DetailsView, but it's treated as text field. Is it possible to
display and edit a memo field in a grid or DetailsView?

I am using VS .net 2005. Many thanks
Hanno

It sounds like you need to convert the field to a template field and make
the textbox multiline.
