Text field

[David French]

Due to space constraints on a Form I can only allow a 1-line text field.
This is actually configured as a memo field.
Is there a way to either allow a scroll bar to read the entire message or to
have a mouse-over effect to have a Screen Tip style box open to read the
entire contents of the field?
Control Tip text works OK but is restricted to 255 characters. Some of
these memos have more text than that.

Click in the field, and press Shift+F2 to open the Zoom box.

This is fine for someone that knows about Access but I'm referring to an end
user.
Either the use of scroll bars or the mouse over pop-up are the only things
I've come up with so far.

How about:
RunCommand acCmdZoomBox
in the Click or DblClick event of the field, or even GotFocus, or perhaps
MouseMove (after a time delay?)
