Hi,
I have a subform that displays records in tabular format. One of the
fields that I am displaying is of type 'Memo'. In most of my
records, this field is empty. When it is not empty, it usually
contains between 1 and 5 lines of text (the user hits the <enter> key
to move to the next line).
When I created the TextBox for this field on my subform, I drew it
only one line high. I set its 'Can Grow' property to true. I also
set the 'Can Grow' property of my subforms detail section to true as
well.
I was hoping that this would cause the Textbox height to be one line
high when it was either empty or contained only one line of text, and
that it would expand to show multiple lines when additional lines of
text are present.
This did not work. Even if the field contains multple lines of text,
my TextBox only shows one line.
Is what I am trying to do impossible? Or am I just missing something?
CanGrow (in forms) only applies to when you print them. S9ince printing
forms is a bad idea anyway the property is mostly useless.
