I want to add text to my report template, but it's more than 255 characters. When i try to copy & paste my text into Text Box,
Access gives me error "Text Box to Long to Be Edited".

Is there anyway to fix this problem?

Thanks!
 

Excel Facts

Which lookup functions find a value equal or greater than the lookup value?
MATCH uses -1 to find larger value (lookup table must be sorted ZA). XLOOKUP uses 1 to find values greater and does not need to be sorted.
if your table field is set to MEMO , then it works.
click the ADD EXISTING FIELDS , then drop the field on the report. It works. My field has 500 characters.
