Synchronize Text Boxes in a Row

I have a form with several fields in-line in the detail. I am using the
borders of each text box to form a grid. The resultant output resembles a
spreadsheet. The problem I'm having is that in the text in one field is
too long for the text box to display, the box expands vertically (it's set
to "can grow"). This would be ok if the adjacent cells would expand as
well so that the borders still line up. Instead, the single box grows to
two lines but rest remain as one line. I guess what I want to do is to
somehow link all of the text boxes in the row so that they all expand
together. Can that be done?

Using a web interface, I am placing text into a SQL database. From time to time, I would like to synchronize one of my other tables in the database with the table that I am inserting content into. What is the SQL command to synchronize these tables? I will be initiating this command through a web interface, so I cannot use enterprise manager. Thank you very much!

I did not get too much help with me original question so here is another. I am trying to create a ColorPicker form for a Microsoft Access 2000 application. I will not use the CommonControlsColorDialog as the set of colors are inconsistent with other Microsoft Applications, so I have a color table with information for 16 different colors (Name, RGBNumber, ColorIndex, Red, Blue, Green, etc.).

I have created a report. This report needs to display records between two dates entered by the user. I put two text boxes on the report so I can enter the start and end date - I set them to use an input mask of 'short date' format. The problem is that when I enter anything in these text boxes, as soon as the field looses focus, the text is cleared out - thus the text box is left blank. I have a button on the form that calls the requery...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
