Limited Characters in a Text Box

I am having trouble with my form when trying to enter more than approx
25 characters in a field text box. They are large enough to fit well
over that but the cursor stops after approx 25. I have never ran into
this problem before and I have no idea how to fix it.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Sounds like the field (in the table) is limited 25 characters. Take a
look at the table.

Open your table in design view and select the field the textbox is bound to. Now
look at the field size at the bottom. It is probably set for 25. Change it to a
higher number up to 255.
