View Full Version : Word Wrap field in form

I cannot find this information anywhere.

I have a form that has a number of columns displaying data from selected records. Column one is for the item name, which can sometimes be longer than the column width for that field.

Is there any way I can word wrap this (and other) columns if needed so that the column expands downwards but does not alter the column widths?

Thanks in advance. :confused:

I tried that. The Can Grow Property is in every column except the one I want to expand. The data from this comes from a table that is related to the main form, from where I drag data to populate the report, if that makes any difference. I tried changing the Can Grow field in the original form to Yes, but that made no difference. Any idea where to from here?
