Thanks That works perfectly!! Thanks a million COB

Does anybody know if it is possible to write multiple lines into a text box, ie when I'm writing and I press enter, the cursor moves onto the next line. Or should I be using another object. Thanks in advanve. COB

Ok I'm still stuck... I created another database to see if it would work and of course it works in that, I imported the two forms that connect each other and it works in the test db but as soon as I try it in the original,,, it just maximises... any ideas??? COB

Me Again!!! Ok I've done what you have said.. I've checked for the maximise option-- No I've used the Movvesize and I've used the InsideHeight/Weight both of them work when I use the text boxes on there own, but as soon as I try to add command buttons to the form, the form just maximises...

Thanks Thanks for that but it still wants to maximise the window!! Although when I have the pop up it goes to the dimensions that you set but as soon as I deactivate the Pop Up option it just fills the whole screen... Do you have any other hints!!! Thanks COB

I'm in need of help, does anybody know how to keep a form at a certain size without using the Pop Up option in the properties box. If I use the Pop Up option I'm no longer able to delete the record but instead I'm asked to delete form that is selected in the database window. Confusing!!! If I...

Hi I replaces the(') with the (#) but it still gives out about a type mismatch.. Sorry for all the hassle. COB

What I've got is the following I've got a list with a set of records which inclues "Term,Date,complete". Once you click on the list it opens a form showing that record but with one extra field "Term,Date,complete, Mail". When I tried to change the code to waht you suggested I got the following...

Does anybody know if it is possible to increase the link criteria between forms so that I can minimse my results?? Because my primary key has two fields Name and Date but I only seem to connect Name. Thanks in advance. COB

Sorry but that doesn't seem to work, I've set the cangrow and canshrink properties of the text box to "YES" and when the data appears, the text box remains the same size as I created it. Do I have to do something else to trigger it??? Thanks COB

Does anybody know if there is a way to adjust the height of text box on a form depending on how much text there displayed? Or another way of displaying data which is stored in a memo format?? Thank you all in advance. COB

I found a solution to the problem.. I ended up having to use VBA and converting the textbox value to a string, then finding the length of the string.. It works!!! Public Function LimitSize() Dim X Dim Y Let X = text1.Text Let Y = (Len(X)) If Y >= 10 Then...

My appologies to you Ally, I didn't mean to cause offense. Blame it on my Irish up bringing.. The text box takes in a a 5 long number and performs mathematical equation on it.. Thanks and Sorry Cormac

Even if I could modify the table design, just for an example I had an number which could only be 5 numbers long how could I do that when the options are :Byte Integer, Long int,double etc??? Thanks Cob

Unfortunately the text box is not connected to any table!!! The topic gets harder!!! Sorry lads Cob
