How to change Text Box Length

Hi,

in an application that we have developed we have an option to add some text. In the SQL Database the text field has been defined as Varchar (500). In the Add Page and Edit Page screens where you can change the properties of individual fields there doesn't seem to be a way to change the length of the Text Box. In the built application what this results in is users typing into the text box but only having visibility of the last 15-20 characters.
On the view side we have seen the option which is a tick box which allows you to expand beyond the initial characters.
We would appreciate any help / suggestions.
Regards
Mike Boyle

Mike,
to change length of text box proceed to the Visual Editor tab, double click on the field and change value in the Size text box.
