Changing Text Box Size and Location on a form, at run time with Access Xp

[Developer]

Hello All,
Is it possible to change the size of the text box (or any other control) on
a form at run time, by Drag and drop or resizing borders using the mouse
events. (Just like the design mode but the user will use it at run time on
form view).

Thanks in advance...

You should be able to resize in your code if necessary.

Me.control.Visible = True
Me.control.Height = 1000
Me.control.Width = 1000

Don't forget to set them back when you are done.

You can use code to resize to fit text in a textbox:

You can also do it in a form event. Datasheet columns can be resized with
drag n' drop.
