I used the form wizard to create my form, when it comes to my text boxes
(comment fields) I change the properties to grow Yes and shrink Yes. However,
they are not. Am I missing something?

On forms, the CanGrow and CanShrink properties only apply when the form is
printed, not when it is displayed in form view.
 
Carrie,
Grow and Shrink do not apply to form view.
It does apply to printing a form.
Do a Print Preview of your form, and the control will grow/shrink
according to it's text length.

Note: Printing forms is not recommended. Better to create a report for
whatever printing you need to do.

You apparently misunderstand what these properties do. Please check
with the Help file:
Gets or sets whether the specified control automatically adjusts
vertically to print or preview all the data the control contains

Al, the idea is that the OP wanted "can grow" to reveal data that otherwise
wasn't visible. So a zoom box will show it.
