In my Access file, the Text Box can accomodate only 50 Letters.
Is there any chance to enter more than 50 characters in an unbound Text Box?
 
Hi Kimet

An unbound textbox should be effectively limitless (actually 64K characters)

A bound textbox is limited by the length of the bound field. Are you sure
your textbox is not bound to a text field of length 50?

The default size of a Text field in a Table is 50 characters, but you can open
the table in design view and change it to 255. If you need more than that,
change the datatype of the table field from Text to memo - this will let you
enter up to 65536 characters.

The textbox on the form is not the limiting factor, it's the table field.
