Word Wrap

[Dan]

Hello:

Is there a code or modification I can make so text can be wrapped in a
table cell. I've read all topics regarding this and it seems the most
viable solution is to either use a form or report. The only way I can
see this working in a form is if I make a form that shows consecutive
records and is designed to look like a table. The problem with that is,
when I tried that and set the field's cangrow property to yes, it still
did not wrap and display correctly.

The table that I want to alter is actually a subform that is defaulted
to show as a datasheet.

Is there any possible way I can manipulate a cell in this datasheet so
its text can be wrapped?

Thank you very much for any insight.

You seem to be mixing terms. You can vertically expand the rows of a
datasheet by draging it down or click on menu FORMAT - Row Height and adjust.

Hello Karl,

Thank you for replying. I tried what you suggested a while back,
but the person that uses this database didn't like that because it
showed less records on the screen. To get around this problem, I made a
text box on the main form that references the note cell of whatever
record is chosen on the subform. This seems to be a solution right now.
Thanks again for replying.

You also could use a Pop-Up form.

How would I go about doing this?

Thanks

Build a form to display the information and set the Popup property to Yes.
Use a query as record source that referes to the record in the datasheet for
criteria. In the field of the datasheet create an double click event of
macro to open the popup.

Thanks! - works good
