Field Too Small

[Andy]

I have a field for notes on all my forms. It is just a regular text box, however I have enlarged it so I can fit several notes. I'm getting an error, saying that my the field is not large enough, even though I am not halfway through the box yet(I hope that makes sense). I tried selecting "yes" by the "field can grow" box, but that did not work. I'm not reall sure how to fix this. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.....

Check the properties for that field on the table that holds the data. Make
sure you've allowed for enough characters. (I think the default is 50
characters). I usually set my notes fields to memo type rather than text.
If I use text, I'll set it to 255 characters.
