I have coloumn names as fund and fundnotes. The the fundnotes should be a
flexible cell where i can add lots of notes pertaining to each fund. Hence
the constraint should be removed of the fix characters in any given feild.
 
You can use a Memo field. But you should use a one-to-many relationship and
DateTime tag each note.

Changing the datatype of Fundnotes to Memo will allow up to 65536 characters
(actually more than a billion if you fill the field programmatically).

However, if there are multiple distinct notes, I'd really suggest removing the
fundnotes field from the table altogether; instead add a Notes *table* with
fields for the FundID, NoteDate (default value Now() if you wish to timestamp
the note), NoteAuthor (which could pick up the user's login id if you wish),
and a memo field for Note. This will allow you to keep each note distinct so
you can search or display them selectively.
