Field in Form limited to 50 characters

Dan

I'm new to Access and can't seem to extend an entry in this field beyond 50
character. On other fields I can without any problem. How and where do I
change the formatting?

Many thanks.

Hi Dan

Change the number of characters in the underlying table or make it into a
memo field if you want to go beyond 255 chr.
