copying Access data to SQL. Cropping occurs.

I am copying data from MS access 2003 which is in a Memo field to ...
an SQL Server 7 sp4 varchar(8000)...
but only 255 characters copy over.
Any ideas! Your help is appreciated!It's most likely the setting in Query Analyzer that is limiting your
results. Go to options dialog in QA and change the # of chars in the
results tab to 8000. YOu can use DATALENGTH() function to see how large
they are.
