List Boxes

[Guest]

A listbox on my form was generated from a wizard which was instructed to take
the information from a table. I want to know if there is a character limit
on a listbox because I have entries that, when I select them in the final
form, I get an error telling me to paste less information. I don't want to
paste less information. Instead I want to expand my listbox so it accepts my
entry. I need about 40-45 characters. Is this possible with a listbox?

Thank you.

You don't paste into a listbox but may paste into the field that is it's
source.
Chances are that field is set to a smaller value and you will need to change
it at the table level.

Mike- I thought this might be the problem too but I looked and even though I
only need 40-45 characters for the items I have listed in my listbox, in my
table for this field I have allowed for 80 and I am still getting this
message. What else can I try? Thanks.
