Default how do i increase form cell lenth from 50 to 200 plus characters

MTS,
look for the table that the form is based on.
Open that table in design view, find the fields that need extra length.
For each of those fields change the field length to a higher number.
The maximum size for a text field is 255.
If you have too many text fields with 255 characters in them,
(that means if users input 255 characters in too many textboxes in the form)
all in the same record, you will run into the limit for a single record.
