Problem copying field data over 255 characters

[SPuser]

I am using MOSS 2007 and have a web-enabled infopath form. There is a data
connection to the library that stores all of the forms. When a user is
filling out a new form, they can select a previous form from a drop down menu
which will copy values from the previous form into the new form. When this
copy function executes, only the first 255 characters of a field get copied
into the new form. The rest of the data is missing. Has anyone ran into this
before and figured out how to fix or a workaround?

Hello,

We have size limitations depends on data type of the field. If our data type
is text box then it should be max is 256 character to show in MOSS 2007. If
you select RichText data type then it will show more data.

Thanks Shiva. We want to use the "text box" control vs. "rich text box"
control, but thanks for your response.
