I cannot make the field size increase past 255. Data is cut off

Sounds as though you're using a Text field, not a Memo field.

Text fields cannot exceed 255 bytes.

If it is indeed a memo field, make sure there is no Format property specified
for the field either in table design, query design or the form textbox. Any
format will truncate the field.
