    No, it's not possible to set more than 255 characters in the field. In MS Access, it says, "The largest maximum you can set is 255."

    if you're trying to store text, use a MEMO field. You can cram up to 65,000+ chars in that field type

    How would I use a MEMO field? And How would I be able to store/save the info in it?
