Hi,
Is there a way to meassure the amount of text populating a text field? My
project involves creating a way to select a particular report depending on
the amount of text.
For instance, if five text fields labeled "Serivce Goal 1 ... Service Goal
2", contain only a scanty one sentence, report "A" would be selected; if
the text fields contain a whole paragraph, then report "B" would be used.
Naturally, my queries would have to have a way to meassure text quantity :-(
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Many Thanks!

The Len function built in to Access will return the length in characters of
a Field, Control, or String variable.
But, my question is, why would you need separate Reports depending on the
length of certain Fields' data? Why not, instead, set the Can Grow and Can
Shrink properties so the Control can expand/contract to display whatever
amount of text it is supplied?

Thank you,
Well, its a long story. The 'Grow' and 'shrink' attributes are set to
'yes', however, the text fields may and do grow so that the detail section
of the report breaks into a second page; somehow, this creates havoc with
the page and report headers and thus causing rather unpredictable visual
results.

Hi,
I need help in setting up a page where the text wraps around an image.
Right now, I am using table, with text in one <td> and the image in the
adjacent <td>. The problem is when the text is longer than the height of
the image, I get all this dead space below the image with the text just
going vertically down in its own <td>.
Can I use style sheet to position the image and the text so that the
text can start taking up the whole page...

I am fairly new to Javascript. I have a form that users fill out to
enter an animal to exhibit at a fair. Because we have no way of
knowing, how many animals a user may enter, I created a table with a

first row of input text boxes already in it. You have to click a button
to add another row. That seems to be working fine. How
do I pull the information from the input boxes...

I was hoping that someone might know one way or the other whether that was
true or not, or could point me to an article or help text that would. What I
have seen so far online and in Access 2007 help seems to confirm the above.
But that (or at least (b)) seems incredible that it...

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
