Is there a way to put a text box on a form that allows the user to type any
length of response he needs? The current max is 255 and for some items and
descriptions that are on this form that can be a little short.

Thanks
 
The TextBoxes on the Form can display up to 64K characters. However, a
normal Text Field (in the Table) can only have max 255 characters.

If you need more than 255, you need to use Meno Field rather than Text
Field.

Check Access Help on the differences between Memo Field and Text Field.
