word wrap in list items
If the text box is tall enough to accomodate two lines of text, text that
doesn't fit on one line it should break to the second line on its own. To get the text to break to a new line at a specific place, in an expression use Chr(13) & Chr(10): ="First line " & Chr(13) & Chr(10) & "Second Line" In VBA you can use vbCrLf instead of Chr(13) & Chr(10) For a more detailed response a more detailed question is needed.

alekem,
Not that I'm aware of. You could try a web search under "combo" "text" "wrap" or.. "listbox" "text" "wrap". A few suggestions... Create a field in your table that is just a short "summary" of the long text. Just enough to have meaning to the user. That can be displayed, and the long text can be "hidden" in a list column. Or, create a small continuous subform that simulates a list box. Each subform record could have a "select" button to intitiate the selection code. -- hth Al Campagna Candia Computer Consulting - Candia NH http://home.comcast.net/~cccsolutions "alekm" wrote in message ...
