title: Long Text change to rich text still only allows 255 characters in ACCESS 2016 db
body: <p>After almost a week of trying the solutions here and on other sites, I'm hoping someone can give me an answer before I move on to MySQL.</p>
  
  <p>I need more than 255 characters in a field in my ACCESS db, so I selected the Long Text Data Type in design view. Per other instructions, I also changed the text format in Field Properties from Plain to rich text. Unfortunately, I'm still limited to 255 chars. I'm using ACCESS 2016. Thanks in advance for your help!</p>
