An Access database has a maximum size of 2 GB (2048 MB), but you should keep its size wll below that because inserting and adding records requires plenty of free space.

If a text field contains 10 characters, it only takes up 11 bytes (10+1 for the length), not 255 bytes even if the maximum length is 255. So it's not really necessary to reduce the size of text fields.

If you have very large tables, consider migrating them to SQL Server. You can keep Access as frontend.
