I created a db in MySQL then connected to it via BASE.
I opened the Base db with a 2click and I created a table, tblinstruction, and specified in Table Design that one of the fields be Text (VARCHAR) and have a Length of 255
But it only lets me type in 26 characters.
Can I do anything about this?
In MySql when I look at the table using the command
describe tblinstruction;
it shows the field has having a lenght of 255

Hello

Is there a limit in your text control? So the problem is in your form?
I don't use MySQL

You clever man! That was it! I've never had a text control do that before (but then I've never created a form in a MySql connected db before either)
