Don, welcome to the group.
You stated: "As some individuals cover massive multiple areas, and sometimes even entire states, I need a field in the database that is virtually unlimited."
It really sounds like you are attempting to store multiple values in a single field. This is typically a bad idea. You might want to provide some basics about what you would like to do prior to developing much more.

The information stored will be on individuals and areas that they cover in a work related environment by using zip codes. I know that a lot of fields are limited to 255 characters. As some individuals cover massive multiple areas, and sometimes even entire states, I need a field in the database that is virtually unlimited. Am I correct in assuming that a memo field will work for this, and if so, in what manner would be best to enter the data, i.e., MS Word or MS Excel?
