Hello,
I've created a form with a text field which works well apart from the fact that the text field only allows 255 characters. I understand the default for the text field is VarChar 255.
How can I change this please? I don't have access to the phpmyadmin as this is controlled by the clients host (who I have little faith in).
If I *do* have to go to the host to get this changed, what is the most blindingly obvious instructions I should give him so he can't misunderstand or get it wrong?😉
Thanks in advance,
Tigs.

Hi Tigs,
You could try installing the EasySQL extension which will let you access the database from the Site Admin. With a little care you can edit it from there. You probably want to change the column type to TEXT.
