I thought I posted this, but can't find my posting so please forgive if this
is a duplicate. I have a field that I need to change from text to memo to
allow additional characters. I have gone in under table design and changed
it to memo, but it will still halt the characters at 255. What am I doing
wrong?

I saw the post and replied to it so I'm not sure what's wrong!

Be sure that there is no Format or Input Mask defined for the field;
either will truncate it to 255 characters. Also, don't try to sort by
or group by the field in a query.
