Is there a maximum number of characters that can be placed in an unbound
text box (e.g. 255)? If so, is it possible to create a "box" with greater
than 255 chars?

A can grow text box can display up to 64K characters. The
number of characters that can be displayed in a non-can grow
text box is limited by the size of the text box.

If you have a memo field in the report's record source that
is being truncated to 255 characters, it's either because
you have specified a format in the text box's Format
property or you have used the memo field in a part of the
query that's inappropriate for memos. The Group By and
Order By clauses are the places that trip up most people.
