I need to enter more than the default characters in a text box

I create a text box, but it only lets me enter 10 -12 characters, I need to
find a way to enter more text into this box. Or use a different object.
Thanks

Is this on a form?

A Text field in a table will store up to the number of characters
specified in the table definition of the field (up to 255 characters);
a Memo field allows you to enter up to 65536.

A textbox on a Form bound to one of these field types should let you
type freely. In what way is it "only let[ting]" you enter 10-12? Do
you get an error message, a beep, it stops echoing, or what?
