From: Dennis on 9 Feb 2010 09:09 Hi, This is just a point of curiosity for me. I realize that Access works the Access works. Does any one know if the rows are stored in the database as fix length record or as variable length records? -- Dennis
From: Jeff Boyce on 9 Feb 2010 10:01 Dennis Second-hand, take w/ salt ... Access fields are variable length, consuming as much space as is needed for the data contained therein. My hunch is this makes the records variable length as well. -- Regards Jeff Boyce Microsoft Access MVP Disclaimer: This author may have received products and services mentioned in this post.

From: Jerry Whittle on 9 Feb 2010 10:23 Variable. If you make a text field size of 255, but only put in 4 characters, it only uses 4 characters of space. However don't make everything 255 characters as the wizards look at that value when creating text boxes on your forms and reports. -- Jerry Whittle, Microsoft Access MVP Light. Strong. Cheap.
