There is a field on my table that allows the user to enter a text description that varyies in size. When I try to associate a text box control with this field on my form it is not being diaplyed to the user and I am not really sure why. Can I set up a text box to display several Lines? Is there anything else I should look at? I would also like to be able to enter the discription through the same text box.
Multi-lined Text box
- Thread starter clauses
- Start date

Open your form in Design View.
Did you set the Layout Property of the textbox to "Yes"?
> Can I set up a text box to display several Lines?<
Open your form in Design View.
There's a Property which you can adapt so when you hit the ENTER key it acts like a hard return:
Go to the Tab called Others.
Look for the property called Effect Enter-key (or similar, I don't have an English version of Access).
And no, you don't need a Memo type column (I'd advice not to use any Memo type columns..).
