5000 character limit in data fields - Is there a way around this?

Is there any way to extend the 5000 character limit for data fields? I
have one field that will be at least 10000 characters regularly. It
appears that I cannot make a custom field larger then 5000 characters
though even with the ntext format.

Just wanted you to know that we have just created a 5000 character ntext
field in the Leads entity and get an error going offline with that data.
Microsoft is working on a fix for this, but in the meantime we're stuck.

Can you use the Notes Entity?

nope, 5000 is it, make 2 and use code to combine them, that's what we have to
do ;)
