I am working with a form that someone else created, we needed to inlarge the
size of the text field. In the table I enlarged the field to 255 characters.
However, when you try to enter the data in the form field it only allows 11
characters. I'm sure I'm forgetting something simple. Please Help.
 
Open the form in design view, check the input mask property of that field.
If there is input mask then you need to remove it

Perhaps some one set the Validation Rule property to <12.
Perhaps you have an Input Mask that only allows 11 characters.
You'll have to look at both the field in the table and the control on
the form.
 
I will double check the validation rule, there is no input mask on either the
table nor the form field.
 
I checket the validation on both the table and the form and there is none,
any more ideas? So far I have checked the input mask and the validation
criteria.
 
I would next check the code of the form, mybe the mask is given in the onload
event of the form, mybe in the code there is a check for the length of the
field.
perform a search for the field in the form code, mybe youll find something.
