Default How do I expand the number of characters in Access comment box?

I am using Access 2007 and want to be able to include more than 250
characters in a "Comment" box.

Hi,

You could try changing your table's field type to Memo. Assuming that
your are talking about a field in a table, that maybe shows on a form. If
that is not the case, please describe precisely what comment box your are
attempting to use.

Change the field's datatype from Text to Memo.
