If the .CanGrow property isn't working in your form, perhaps it is because there is no room for it to grow? What is directly beneath the control that you want to wrap?

You may also need to set the Scroll Bars property of the textbox control to "Vertical".

the field that i'm trying to wrap is in a subform.

its links to a key or index, so multiple record would show up at once.

i,ve try the verticla doesn't do anything

need help with .cangrow, how does it work?

Wrapping means to view text within 1 control across multiple lines within that control. What you want to do is view multiple records with 1 form (instead of a single record view). You need to change the Default View property of the Form (that is the subform) to Datasheet.

 

[yogi]

how do you do that?

 

[MicroE]

Open the Form (the one that is the subform) in design view. From the menu bar choose View > Properties. From the Properties window select the All Tab. Find the Default View property and select Datasheet. Save and close the form.

i've try this, my properties is alredy steup that way.
my subform is related to the main form (table i mean, one to many)
anymore ideas
your help is very appreciate

Open the subform in Form View. From the menubar choose Format > Row Height. Set the height to 25 – select File > Save from the menubar, close the form.
