Text Box Resizing
Open for the Properties Dialog for the TextBox control. Set all of the
Margin Spacing props back to 0. -- HTH Stephen Lebans http://www.lebans.com Access Code, Tips and Tricks Please respond only to the newsgroups so everyone can benefit.

Either having the verticle scroll bar appear for the text box, or having the text box resize for that record would meet my needs.

You may be able to reduce the font size slightly to make the text fit the field http://www.lebans.com/autosizefont.htm But - It may be better to simply allow scroll bars so that user can view the text. Hope this helps I have a form that contains text boxes. The user inputs verbiage to be saved in the DB.

Text Box Resizing
I am sorry for this.

"missinglinq via AccessMonster.com" wrote: Excuse me, but Posse John said nothing about increasing the amount of data entered, just "What must I change/enable to properly display the text?" which, as you said, the zooming action does. Data entry can also be done in the zoom box. If he needs to increase the data beyond the text datatype's 255 limit, then he needs to go to a memo filed, but he mentions nothing about this. Answering questions that haven't been asked is not very productive.
