Question : Querydef, Parameters

Is it possible to assign more than 255 chars long text string to a Querydef's Parameter ?
 
    Dim qd As QueryDef
    Set qd = CurrentDb().QueryDefs("Query1")
    qd.Parameters![nameParm] = "String longer than 255 chars" '<-------- Error
    Set rs = qd.OpenRecordset(dbOpenDynaset)
    MsgBox rs.EOF

  I get an error # 3271 when i assign such long string to the parameter.

  Here is the sql statement -

  PARAMETERS nameParm Text ( 500 );
  SELECT Table1.Name
  FROM Table1;
