combo box view

[pascaly]

Hi,

I have a combo box on a form, but the data in the combo is wider than the object on the form, so some of the details are cut off when you scroll down. What I'm wondering is, can I make the cbo object on the form a smaller size, but when I hit the dropdown arrow, the choices appear in a larger box, so I can see the full options?

Thanks.

In design view go to the Combo's Column width (under the format tab, 5th from the top) and set the column width to whatever you need, this will do exactly what you are after.

Great, thanks for that.

I hate to be 'that guy', and without your help I wouldn't have found it, but what worked was "List Width" not "Column Width", it was a few more down the list in the Format tab.

Sorry, I don't mean for that to sound rude or ungrateful, I just thought I would point it out in case others are looking for the same thing.

Again, thanks for the help John.

No problems, glad you found the solution
