Access - increase field text from 255
Please offer if there is a way to increase the text count per field to be greater than 255. I have not found any solutions in my research.

Thank you.

are you talking about a form control textbox?
if this a bound control, you have to change the table field data type to MEMO

In a regular table field. Thanks.

255 is the maximum length of a text field.  If you need it to be longer, it must be a memo.
