Assuming shapefile I would:
1. open the attribute table and add a field that is the correct length
(14th icon from the left on the attribute table)
2. use field calculator to calculate the new field = to the old field.
3. Delete the original field.
4. You have a choice now - if you want to keep the original field name
you can wash rinse and repeat this process by adding the original field
back OR
5. Plugins -> Manage and install plugins -> table manager and rename
your new field to the name of the old field.
Good Luck!

Hello,
I wanted to know how to make the number of characters larger in a
column in an attribute table. I have an existing column in which I need
more characters. It is for a link to PDF's that I am creating on our
network.
Thanks for your time on this.
