Field Size too small error message

[Mike H.]

I am putting together a combo box, and the description in the combo box are long. When I choose one of the long ones, the following error message pops up. "The field size is too small to accept the amount of data you attempted to add.

Any ideas on how I can make the field size large enough to handle the data. Here is an example of the data that is considered to much

"Recreational and Cultural Interest Area Destination (with arrow) [upper/lower case]

Thanks

That field is 83 characters long. How big is the field in which you're
trying to insert the value?

When you create Text fields, they normally default to 50. Try increasing
that (you can go up to 255 characters).
