All text visible while I'm typing

[viro]

Hi,



Wen I put text in a text box, I need to stay all visible while I'm typing, as well as when I click in a box.
It seems easy but......

Thanks in advance

If you type in more text than will fit (be visible), then you won't see the rest of it. Text boxes don't automatically expand. You need to either a) make the text box bigger in design view, or b) add vertical or horizontal scroll bars to the bottom and/or right hand side of the textbox, again in design view.

Thanks, it seemed a function so obvious that I thought it was easy. And using VBA has way to run this function? Access 2010 has the same limitation?

It isn't a function that is called by VBA. You have to open the form in design view, and change the size of the text box, which means you might have to move other controls to make it fit. You also add the scroll bars in design view. If you asking if there is a way to make a text box automatically expand to fit the text as it is being entered, the answer is no, there isn't. That's what scroll bars are for.
