Is there any way to be able to add more than 255 characters in a memo field
or something else so I can type more info for each record?

Memo fields are something like 64,000 characters.  It's a text field that is
only 255.

Remove any Format property on the memo field or the textbox you're
using to enter data into the memo field. A Memo can hold up to 65536
characters (actually two billion or more if you populate it using VBA
code). It's only trimmed to 255 if you try to format it or sort by it.
