I'm not sure what yiu mean, just open the table in design view and change the
size of that field.
After you change the size of the field, if you still can't input more
characters, then open the form in design view, and check the input mask
property of the field, if it has any mask

I hope that helped
Good luck

Kitten,

1. Select the table that you wish modify.
2. Switch to design mode.
3. Select the field.
4. You will find General page tab below.
5. Change the field size.
