I am trying to make a form to enter wrok orders. In the boxes that I have on
my form, it only lets me type so much and then thats it. I tried expanding
the box, which worked, but now I have this huge box and I am still only able
to type 4 words.

The form gets its records from a table.
The text box is bound to a field in that table.

Open the table in design view.
Select the field.
In the lower pane of table design, change the Field Size property to 255.

You should now be able to enter about 50 words. If you want more, change the
field type in the table from Text to Memo.

Check the Field Size property of that field in the underlying table.
If it is 20, you can only type 20 characters (incluing spaces) and so on...
