text box

A text box contains one piece of data. What are you trying to accomplish?
Maybe there is another way.

Why, as in, "why do you want to do that?"

If you explain a bit more about WHAT you want to accomplish, rather than
HOW, the 'group readers may be able to offer an alternate approach.

Klatuu:
In one of the commands from the form I'm creating I want one these commands
to enter one or more than one data. Specifically, I want to enter the time
the participant will respond. However, the participant might respond more
than one time for this command, so I need to enter more than one response. I
hope this helps.

To make the most of the functions/features MS Access offers, you need to
consider (and normalize) the data model. Sticking more than one fact in one
field is not a well-normalized design.

On the other hand, setting up a "child" table that records one row for each
"time" as you say, would allow a given participant (a "parent" table) to
have zero, one or many "times".

Consider working on the data relationships first, before designing the form.

Jeff:
Yes, you're right, I will think about the relationship before creating the
form. I may come with a better question for you guys.
