text field size

[nicola1]

Is there any way of increasing a text field size to above 255?

To increase the limit you can use the Memo data type instead.

Be aware that MEMO fields have functional limitations - things you cannot do with them that you could do with TEXT fields. Like build indexes on them, for a biggie. Like build relations on their contents. (Obviously, for a bunch of text that long, it is unlikely you will do such a relation - but that's just as well, 'cause you CAN'T.)

Look up MEMO fields in the Help Files to see the differences.
