How do I set up Wrapping Text in a Text Box in Access

I have a text box that is wider then long. I would like the text to wrap.
Do I have to turn on the scroll bars for this?

Set the text box's CanGrow property to true.

It is double wide but does not give me the option to add the scroll bars
after searching.

It is populating from a memo field in a table.

Wrapping only occurs if the control is at least two lines tall (width don't
matter). You will only see the scrollbar when the control has focus.

The CanGrow/CanShrink properties are only useful when the
form is printed. They have no effect in any of the form
views.

Well, I had to try it out. You won't be surprised to hear you were right.

Well, I just tried it it out before you did ;-)

I may have done it more than a decade earlier than you, but
that's how we figure out all this stuff. Keep on
experimenting.
