The query pulls data from multiple fields. One of these fields is of type
memo. In this field are 500 chars (approx). For some reason when i run the
query it pulls only the first 255 chars from the field and omits the rest.

This usually happens when you Sort or Group by the memo field. Access
won't attempt to sort records on the basis of a memo field (which,
after all, could be over a gigabyte in size) so it truncates it.
