Hi,

I was wondering if anyone might be able to help me here.

In a report, is there any way i can set a size for a textbox?

for example, there is a field in a table that has value of
SEPP (Air Quality)
EPA licences
EPA buffer zone document, AQ286

However, in the report, the textbox called TB_References that i assigned the value to only shows one line i.e SEPP (Air Quality). I have made sure that the can grow = "yes". It only shows the three lines there if i extend the height of the textbox.

I don't understand why the can-grow feature doesn't work. I don't know if the program causes it. I have checked it however, by using the msgbox to output me.TB_References. It actually shows the full value i.e. three lines of words there.

here is the code
Private Sub Detail_Print(Cancel As Integer, PrintCount As Integer)
Dim response, key As String
Dim rsNew As New ADODB.Recordset

rsNew.Open "Select * from [Framework Outline]", CurrentProject.Connection, adOpenDynamic, adLockOptimistic

If Me.Structure <> "P" Then
Do Until rsNew.EOF
If rsNew!FO_ID = Me.Structure Then
Me.TB_References = rsNew!References
Exit Do
End If

rsNew.MoveNext
Loop
ElseIf Me.Structure = "P" Then
Me.TB_References = Me.References
End If

rsNew.Close

End Sub

I already spent a lot of time on this but couldn't exactly solve this as to why the TB_Reference doesn't show the entire value given that the "can grow" is set to yes.

Your help is greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance
 
I am having the same problem. Was there ever a solution to this?
Thanks
