255 Characters? Is that all there is???

message from Warhawk on 11 May 2004
I would like a textbox to accept much more that 255 characters. Is
there any way to do that? Thanks in advance!

Personally I don't like memo fields as they can cause some odd problems,
but most of the time they do behave themselves. I suggest that if you use
them in a table with critical data, make sure you keep your backup current.
I avoid them except for non-critical stuff.

Hi Mark,

In your table design change the field type from text to memo.
