Can I add 300 character to a Text field in access table

Hai,

The problem I am having in the access table is that I have a field in
the table where the character length goes up to 300 - 320 character.
Is there any way to add 300 charcter as Text field in the ms access
database. I am using the MS Office 2003 Professional Edition.

Thank u

Bye

Use a Memo type field, not a Text type field.
