SELECT DISTINCT and memo field problem?
This is the same as attempting to group by a memo field. This isn't possible
in a standard query. You could possibly write some code that would do this
or try limit your distinctness to 255 characters.
SELECT DISTINCT Left(tblPermitReport.comment,255) As ShortComment
FROM tblPermitReport;
