    Field Is Too Small Issue

    Hi,



    Before, the field size of my Course was 50 and then I changed it to 100 since I'm going to add longer titles. My issue starts when I'm choosing title from the list (Form). A pop-up error message appears saying "The field is too small to accept the amount of data you attempted to add".

    How to fix this?

    Thanks,
    netchie

    There is *no* penalty for defining a text field too large. Access *only* uses the actual string value size on the disk.
