Northwind customer phone list

[C Tate]

I have created a form (based on the Northwind customer phone list) for my
contacts database. Unfortunately some of my company names are a bit too long
and are chopped off in some places.

I thought changing the detail section properties to 'allow to grow' would
let the whole company name appear, even if it was on a different line. But
that didn't work.

Is there anything else I can try or will I have to shorten all the names
which are too long or even delete some of the other fields to make room for
the longer company names?

Thanks in advance.

The CanGrow settings for a report are ONLY effective when the form is
printed.

Best you can do, as far as I know, is to size the detail section taller, and
make the control taller also.
The text will wrap within the control if the control is high enough. But it
won't grow. I just tried it.
