SQL Server 2005 - MS Access to MS SQL - Memo field - HELP :(

Hi there,

I have just converted an MS Access database to MS SQL 2005 database using MS SQL Server - Import and Export data, and I just seem to be having problem after problem... it converted MEMO fields to nText, but then some of my sql queries stopped working and it said : "The data types ntext and varchar are incompatible in the equal to operator", so I then changed them to nvarchar(Max) as they need to contain a large amount of content, but then although there is no error, the contents of the fields are just not showing, as if they are blank or empty?

I keep searching on Google, asked anyone I know, and am just not having any luck - hence my message here

Please can anyone offer me any advice or tell me where I am going wrong, I would be so so grateful.

THank you in advance,
Jane

Are you doing a SELECT *? If so, try doing a SELECT Field1, Field2, etc. etc. putting the nvarchar(MAX) fields at the beginning
