I am new to Access and I'm having trouble with a database someone else created. I am wondring why I am not being able to insert more than 255 characters to a memo field in Access 2003.

We need a field in our database to allow us to enter a short summary of the job we are referencing. I can format the "data type" of the entry to be a "memo" which I thought should give me plenty of space to get the summary in....
