How can I increase the 255 character field size. I have a comment field in my form that will require more than 255 characters, how do I work around that.
 
You can use a memo field in your table and your form.

Why do you need such a big field for comments?

In the Design Grid for your table, change the data type from Text to Memo. This gives you something like 65,535 instead of 255 characters.
