Hi All,

I need one textbox which for each record in a query it will add the comments section of the record. So say there are 4 records i would want the textbox to show the messages with a new line then the next message etc.

message 1

message 2

message 3

etc...

It's to create the illusion of an instant chat almost.

Any help would be much appreciated.
 
There are a couple of ways to achieve this either with a concatenation function (Google for it), or more realistically a continuous sub form that looks like a text box.

The second will be easier if you have no or little coding knowledge.

The second is the correct way, not only the easier one.
 
Apologies for the late reply, how would the second option work. Could you explain it further.

Thanks for the help

create a subForm and set it to be continuous, so it will show all records, just like in spreadsheet or query.
 
This works well thanks guys, the only issue I had was I was hoping the text box's would grow or shrink with content but instead a vertical scroll bar appears.
