Can Grow property

[Tarek]

Hello!

Why when I set the property "Can Grow" of a textbox to Yes in a form, the
text box doens't grow if the text has more than one line. I've tried the
same in a report, the text is displayed in many lines if needed.
Is it possible to have the text box of a from display its content in more
than one line if needed?

Thanks

CanGrow in the context of a form only applies if you PRINT the form. Not
on-screen viewing.

Stephan Lebans has some tools that allow form controls to automatically
size themselves for the data they contain. You could check that out.
