can grow / can shrink anamolies between Access versions

[accessuser1023]

hi again guys,

Does anyone know if the issues with these textbox properties have been fixed in any version? These things have never worked for me and I've always had to 'BS' my way through the development because I can never seem to get them to work. Does anyone know of any specific circumstances surrounding these two properties? I've seen a lot of posts regarding complaining about them on various websites over the years.

thoughts anyone? I haven't searched yet, but I'm pretty sure that the differing Access versions also play a factor...

thanks.

Don't forget to set the can shrink/ can grow property for the section also. Controls will not grow to exceed the section size or shrink it if the section also isn't set to can shrink/ can grow.

Pat, what do you mean by this? I'm not getting it. clarify?
