How can you edit the Subject, Poll Question and Poll Choice  boxes to make them bigger?

I have a few questions/answers that will not fit in the text boxes!!

I have edited the database, but it did not add any length!

TIA

Line 319 of the post_message.asp file also needs changing as well as the text box size and field sizes in the database:-

strPollQuestion = Trim(Mid(Request.Form("pollQuestion"), 1, 41))

Increase the number shown in red.

Change the following numbers

TO CHANGE THE MAXLENGTH IN THE FORMS
CHOICES:
//includes/poll_form_inc.asp and change the number in red
78: ....e="choice<% = intPollLoopCounter %>" type="text" size="30" maxlength="41"></td>

QUESTION:
//includes/poll_form_inc.asp and change the number in red
58: ....e="pollQuestion" type="text" size="30" maxlength="41"></td>41"></td>

SUBJECT:
//includes/IE_message_form_inc.asp
143: ....="text" name="subject" size="30" maxlength="41"<% If strMode="editTopic" or strMode="PM" Then .....

Now to chage the code so the extra characters won't get cut off.
CHOICES:
//post_message.asp
339: saryPollChoice(intPollChoice) = Trim(Mid(Request.Form("choice" & intPollChoice), 1, 41))

QUESTION:
Already answered.

SUBJECT:
//post_message.asp
149: strSubject = Trim(Mid(Request.Form("subject"), 1, 41))

 

I hope what i typed is right and it helps!
