Text box on form doesn't hold enough data

I have a vB code that updates a text box on a "status indicator" form with a
"§" for every 1 percent of text conversion completed via the code (it takes a
while to run the code, it's character-level editing in one field on over
30,000 lines of data, so I wanted to get a general idea how long it's
taking). The only problem is, the code works exactly how it's supposed to,
but the text box only holds about 60 characters and I can't figure out how to
expand it's character limit. So I get an "indicator" that freezes at 60%,
lol. The text box is unbounded, as well. Any ideas?

Click to expand...

An unbound TextBox should hold approximately 64000 characters and there is
no setting for this.

You don't have an InputMask on the TextBox do you?
