Can grow on forms.

[Joe]

I have a form where I can put all memo notes.
Is there a away to have the
Can grow
Can shrink
Working for view?

In other words, if a memo is 15 lines, can the text box
grow while typing?

Thanks
Joe

I suspect you could use the KeyUp event for the control to do this, but it
would put mean the event is being called over & over (each time the user
releases a key).

A better solution would be to allow scroll-bars so the user can always see
what they are typing, & then enlarge the text box after the control loses
the focus. That way it should only be fired once.

Joe,
With a Form, CanGrow and CanShrink only work when the report is
previewed or printed, not when in Form View.

Use the control scroll bars to navigate within the control.

James,

Thanks
Can you give me a bit more information?

"then enlarge the text box after the control loses
the focus"
How do I do this?

Also, if possible, I would avoid scroll bars.

Thanks again
Joe
