Basically its a database we use to track what we do to cust cars in the notes section. I made a Note Contd box but I cant edit it prbable because there is no form to attach it to?

I didn't create this so I'm not sure how they built the program

I can only put in about 200 characters of customer notes.

What's the control source of that textbox? I would expect to be the name of a field in the table. FYI, a text field can hold 255 characters. You can change it to memo if you need more.

Thanks,

But I haven't messed with this program since college about ten years ago. What do I change to "memo" ? The field is bound to a source called "Note".

Where can I edit the "memo" ?

You would change the data type of the field to memo.

The #Name error tells you Access doesn't recognize the field. Can you post the db here?
