grow but doesn't seem to grow when the data exceeds the space on the
form. is there another setting i'm missing?

What you're missing is that form controls only grow when you
print the form.

AFAIK, the best you can do is make the text box tall enough
to display at least two lines of text so Access displays a
vertical scroll bar in the text box.

Thanks Marsh. I wasn't sure if this was only for a report or not
