Memo Field Help

I have an asp web application that is supposed to display a memo field on one
of the asp pages. It displays in asp but is truncated at 255 characters. Any
code so that it will display the whole memo field or am I stuck with the 255
limit. Seems like I worked around this issue about 5 years back but can't
remember (old age).
Thanks. The memo field is called dict_description and is for an on-line
dictionary which calls for more than 255 characters to define a term.

Part of the script on my asp pages is as follows. The memo field is
called "dict_description" Any help is appreciated.

<%
end if
do while NOT rs.EOF
%>

<%=searchIndex%>.
<%=MarkSearch(Nz(rs("dict_string")),searchword,Nz(rs("stype")))%>: <%=Nz(rs("dict_description"))%>

<%
searchIndex = searchIndex + 1
rs.MoveNext
Loop
%>
