Default Character Limit

I have a problem with a previously developed worksheet.

Some fields seem to have a 255 character limit. If you enter 255 then all
you get is a display of hashes eg: ###############################.

Why is there a 255 character limit on my cell? and any ideas how to remove it?

Changing the formatting of the cell does not alter the 255 character limit.
Whether formatted as general or text, there is still a 255 character limit
applied.

Any help is appreciated.
