When I am entering information into my database I am only able to enter in 20
char. per cell. Once I hit that max area, it will no longer let and more
characters in that cell. Is there a way to increase the amount of characters
in a cell???

Thanks,
Scot

First, there are no "cells" in a databse. That is a spreadsheet term.

Are you entering your data directly into the table? You shouldn't. You
should create forms to enter data. In either case, that is not your issue
here.

What type of field is it? Is the size of the field set to 20? You can go
into design-view on your table and edit the data types, legths, and edits
for each field. If you are entering through a form, you would also want to
check the edits on each control on your form (as you can further define the
format in your form).
