Default Text box size!

Hello everyone!
I am a new user of the access software..My problem comes with the text box
component..I was wondering if the size of it can grow or shrink with the
data it holds.For example if i have a number 123 inside the text box has a
size and when the number inside becomes 1234556866949 the size of the text
box can become bigger so as to fit the number (i want all the number to be
viewable).
Thanks in advance!!!!

Just make the box as large as your largest number. Depending on the
formatting of your box you should not really have any idea how large it is
anyway. Are you outlining it or doing something that gives away the size of
the box to the user?

Your users may find it a little odd-looking, but if you're comfortable
with VB code, have a look at what UI wizard Stephen Lebans has posted
