Is it possible in a form while entering data in a text field to get the field to drop down so as to see all of what you're typing. I know this option is available in a Report but haven't come across any information about it regarding forms?

There is no "can grow" equivalent for forms. One work around is to allow the user to use the ZoomBox command to expand the text box for data entry/viewing. The best way is probably by using the DoubleClick event: - Private Sub YourTextBox_DblClick(Cancel As Integer)
-
DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdZoomBox
-
End Sub
The drawback to this method is that the zoombox is large and awkward and you can't control where it pops up. Give it a try, and if you feel it's too unwieldly, post back and I'll give you a work around that requires a bit more work but one where you can control the size/placement of a custom zoom box.

Thanks missinglinq,
I'll give it a go.

Dear Access gurus,

Hi,
I have a textbox on a form. When I assign a string to the .Text

this code hangs (never returns from 3rd line):

I'm using the HTML File Field control as a file picker for uploading files
to a SQl Server image field. When page posts back to initiate upload, if
file is small (under about two megs) all is well. However, when I select a
large file, the default IIS "Cannot find server" page is immediately
returned. Weird???

Hi, I know this is not a Crystal Reports group, but news.cogniza.com
recieves like one question per week.
Does anyone know how to push fields following a textbox when it grows with
the "Can Grow" property set?
I have, for example, two fields, and I want the second one to start when the
first one ends so they don't overlap.
Please help,

Hi all,
I found that the default "can grow" in Crystal Reports 10 is different
from the one in Crystal Report 9.
In version 9, when "can grow" is disable, the words in the field are
chopped off and doesn't not warp around to the next line.
In version 10, when "can grow" is disable ,the text would overlap the
field next to it if the text is too long, to make it field behave the

i created a report in access. the output look like spreedsheet(every field has solid border) there is one colunm have some fields have very long content. so i set all colunms to "can grow"
but in printing preview. there is the only the field with long contents grows. other fields in the same rows are still short than that one. which looks awful. can I make all the fields in that row the same height as that one?
thanks
