Drop-Down List Values

B

BostonCC

I'm inserting a dropdown list into a form. In the Drop-Down List Box
Properties I'm able to manually enter the values of the list. However, some
of my values are rather long (and there is NO WAY I can shorten them - it's
legal jargon that the user must choose).

What I want to know is if I can change the length of the value field? What
I mean is that one the current values that I want as a choice on this list
contains 164 words or 1,042 characters with spaces - however, I can only
enter 40 words or 255 characters.

Can I change it? If so, where? I really appreciate any assistance anyone
can give me.

Thanks a lot

It is a fixed length field

Why not have a short version in the drop down and then populate a longer
version text box based on the selection

I don't follow? I'm trying to avoid having the person actually type anything.

Give me more Art - thanks

set up the drop down with something short - like a description

Then set a rule that populates a text box with the entire language.

The data would be stored in an Access or SQL table
