Drop-Down list to display remaining text.

[mnsemple83]

I am working on a form that consists of two fields: "Date" and "Notes". The "Date" field is of type "Date/Time" while the "Note" is of type "Text". What I want to do is modify the "Note" field so that when a user types several rows of text, then saves the form, when they want to view what they wrote, they will only be able to view one line of what they typed. To review the rest, they would have to click on a button representing a drop-down list that will contain the remaining text. Can this be accomplished using a macro or would it require VBA code?

Is it possible for you to set the CAN GROW property of your field to YES. This will automatically expand the box to show all the text the person typed in.

Note: you can also use

FIELDNAME.SelStart = 0

This takes your cursor to the first position of a text box then you can just use your down arrow to scroll through the field

Is there also a way for me to wrap the text in a text box?

Text in a text box wraps automatically based on the width of the text box.

If you want to artificially add carriage returns to the text you have to use CTRL-ENTER
