The number [quantity] of symbols allowed in a certain field

[az0000000]

I am on Access 2000. I would like to know how could I define the number of symbols that can be input in a certain field? For example in Home Phone field I would like to be able input more than 30 characters, but database doesn’t let me input more than 16. How can I change that?

Thanks a lot.

Regards.

Sounds to me like you have the field type set as a number/integer, and it should be text.
