InputBox() with more than 255 characters

Hi,

I was wandering if someone could help me...........

I have a memo field on a form, which is disabled. I want to use a command button to edit the field, by using InputBox(), but it will only let me enter up to 255 characters.

Is there any way you can increase the number of characters allowed in an InputBox, or another function which i could use?

Thanks!
Heidi

I would suggest using another textbox on a form. Leave it unbound.
