Limited characters in a text box

All of the text boxes in my form are limited to approx 25 characters
and I want them to be unlimited.

Does anyone know how to change this???

Thanks!

If the text box is bound to a text field in your table:
1. Open the table in design view.

2. Select the text field.

3. In the lower pane, increase the Field Size to 255.
Alternatively, change the field type to Memo.

4. Repeat for your other fields.

5. Save the changes to the table.
