Hi,

we have a database here that is build on Microsoft access
however there is a Notes option .... if you click on a
button it brings up an option for you to wtite free text
comments, but there does not seem to be the 255 char
limit, so it must be writing to a notepad, but every time
you go to that inidividuals record the info on the Notes
option is saved. Does anybody know how this is done as it
would be really useful in a simple dbase that I am
attempting to make

In the table, the field is probably a Memo data type instead of a Text data
type.
 
Formatting a field as a "memo" type will allow you to enter up to 65,535
characters.
