i have a access form and i have a text box, when i type in data i reach a
point where i can not enter more data, i want to change a setting to increase
the ammount of data that can be entered.

That is determined by the field definition in the table. For Text the maximum
is 255. If you switch to Memo you can go virtually unlimited. A TextBox on a
form is limited to 64K characters though.

If you aren't worried about being able to search by the information
you are typing (like notes on something), you can also use a Memo
field instead of a Text field, which accommodates more text.
