Expanding text box

[SLP]

I have created a database in Access 2000. After
completing the database I found I needed to add a Notes
field. I went into design view and added a text box and
bound it to my table but it will only let me type in about
50 characters. I have it set up with a scroll bar.
What I want is when it comes to the end of the box field I
want it to go to the next line and continue typing. Is
there anyway I can get the text box to do a 'word wrap'?

Go to design view and click in your Notes field. Look down at the bottom of the
screen and there is a place to set the field size. A textbox can be set for a
max 0f 255 characters. If you need more than this, change the field size to
Memo. That will give you 64,000 characters I believe.

Thanks but when I go into design view, right click and
view the properties there is no Field size section. And I
don't see anything at the bottom of the screen except for
the design view and num lock key on Is this because I
added it after the fact with the toolbox, text box option
that I can't change it?

Sorry, I should have been more explicit!

Open your table in design view.
