The max of a text field is 255 bytes long. How many charaters that it can hold? How it holds several A4 paper full of words? I want to use a text field to hold people's resumes which would be 5 to 10 pages. How can it be done? On my form it is a text control, what happens if the typing has hit the max 255? Appreciate some experience sharing. Thanks.

Change the field datatype to MEMO.
 
Have you tried a "Memo" field? this should allow about 30
pages of information!
