Expand field through doubleclick

I have a textfield that can contain 254 characters. Since I have little room
on my form I kept it about 10 characters wide. How and what do I do so that,
when a user doubleclicks this item, he/she can see all the info entered?
I.e. that the field expands to the whole 254 characters size?

TIA Access Dummie Henro

This will open a zoom box and allow the user to see all of the
characters.

Private Sub txtMyTextBox_DblClick(Cancel As Integer)
DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdZoomBox
End Sub
