Dear all,

I have a MS Access DB Form (mask) and a "comments" field in the mask connects to a SQL Server db table field of 2500 length. I extended the length to 3000 char as per request and refreshed the connection, but the user still cannot enter text longer than 2500 charachters.

Do you know what steps I am missing? thanks

    connects to a SQL Server db table

    And how is MS Access connected to that SQL Server database table? Have you refreshed that connection?

    You said "refreshed the connection"
    That's a bit vague. Using Access terminology, you must refresh the link to that table.
    In table design view, it should then show the length of 3000.
