How do I increase the number of characters a text box will accept? I

it is in properties but I don't know which one.
This is not controlled by the text box itself (unless you've specified an
input mask), but rather by the field type and field size of the table field
to which the text box is bound. Those are specified in design view of the
table, not the form or control.
A field of type Text can hold up to 255 characters, though its field size
may be set to less than that. If that's not big enough, you can use the
Memo field type, which has a theoretical maximum of 2GB -- but the text box
control will only let you enter about 65,000 characters.
