I have a form that is used to create follow-up reports for work-related
accidents. In order to bring the user up-to-date the form contains a sub-form
that displays two text boxes (memo boxes, actually)--mmoIncidentDescription
and mmoAdditionalInfo--that are taken from the original incident report.
My intention with this subform is to have a single "window" with a verticle
scroll bar that will allow the user, if necessary, to read through the two
memos. The subform itself contains two text boxes. For each box I have
activated both the Can Grow? and Can Shrink? functions. My assumption is
that by doing this each text box will grow or shrink to accomodate the size
of the related memo however what I'm finding is that, instead, the box
remains exactly the same size as originally drawn. If the memo is larger than
this space an additional scroll bar appears inside the individual text box.
(This means that the subform now has a primary vertical scroll bar and one or
two additional scroll bars within each individual text box).
Is there something I'm not doing correctly that's preventing
mmoIncidentDescription and mmoAdditionalInfo from growing or shrinking as
need be? I know that multiple scroll bars will be too confusing for users.
Also, is there a way to prevent a text box from appearing at all if there is
no data to fill it?
Thanks,
David
