Text box

[JenK]

I have a text box which is used to store memos. The field size only allows
255 charecters I need more space to keep proper notes. What can I use to have
unlimited text area, or is there some other object I can use for this purpose?

Set the data type of the field in your table that the text box is bound to,
to a memo type. This will give you all the characters that you need.

Thank-you, that is exactly what I needed.

Jen,
Use the Memo data type in your table, instead of Text.
