255 character limit on each entry in a listbox?

[utc13]

I found out with trial & error that there is a 255 character limit on each entry in a listbox. I really need to store more than 255. Is there a way to increase this limit or find a way around it?

The listbox only lets you use a text field which does indeed have the 255 character limit. That leaves you with a memo field to store all that data in.
A combo box will let you reference a memo field.
Perhaps if you provided more information as to your goal we can help you more effectively.

Memo field are almost unlimited if storing text or numbers.

Never give up never give in.

There are no short cuts to anything worth doing
