I used 2007 to build a data base with a “description of the problem” field; I
now have people wanting to enter more than 255 characters. I am trying to
keep this database simple, and know that there are other ways to do this, but
just don’t want to start over again after lots of data has been entered.
Is there some way to bypass the 255 limit?
Thanks. TES

Change the Field in the Table from Text to Memo.
