Text too large to be in a field

[bmoos1]

I have some information about a particular company that I need to
access when I'm in a form. In the table the data won't import from
excel because it's too large (over 255). I would really like that
information to show up on the form when I click a button. How can I do
this? Any help. I'm a beginner.

I tried that and it wouldn't export into Access because too much text
for the field. The text is well over 1000 characters. Any other
suggestions?

Try saving your excell file as a text, tab-delimited file.
Then Import the new file into Access. Try importing it into a new
table, not an existing table.
