Line wrap vs. same line

We have an Access DB running in Windows ME. When we are viewing a table in a
form and there is more data in a field than the field width permits to be
displayed we want the data to become hidden at the end of the field rather
than wrapping to a new line underneath.

We believe that it used to do this, but recently it has been wrapping to a
new line underneath. When the wrap occurs we only get to see the tops of
characters clipped off, rather than the whole character height for the
second line.

How can we change this behaviour so that fields with extra long descriptions
in them stay on the same line, even if the final characters are hidden?

Thanks for help in advance,

Make sure the height of the control is set to just display the one
line. Set the control's Can Grow property to No.
