Wrap text in ListBox?

[Edward P Sager]

Hello,

Is there a way to wrap the text which shows up in a ListBox?

Thank you,

Sorry Edward, again the answer is no to the ListBox and yes to creating
a SubForm that resembles a ListBox.

Is there a way to insert a string into the Field of a Table with code (i.e.,
& vbCrLf &) to manually create a word wrap effect, such as manually breaking
up the text?

thank you,

You can put in the carraige return and line feed, BUT it will not show all the
lines. With the listbox control you get ONE LINE per record (row).

You can get multiple lines per record(row) with a subform approach, BUT all rows
will be the same height - unless Mr. Lebans has worked some magic that I am
unaware of.

I do not understand your question Edward. Are you still trying to use a
ListBox instead of a TextBox control on a SubForm?

Yes. The reason is that those viewing this need it to be very simple and
have as few moving parts as possible. I think that being able to manipulate
any of the underlying data would be too tempting and confusing for my
audience.

What I figure is this: I will use abbreviations standard to the industry in
which I am working to cause the rows in my ListBox to fit all the data which
I desire.
