I have a field where comments will need to be stored. Is there a simple rule
for how large to make such a field. I have a feeling I'm going to need 400+
characters. What's the trick to expand from the 255 minimum?

Once you need more than 255 you have to move to the Memo datatype which has
a very large limit 64K or similar.
