    Widening First Field in Combo Box

    I have a Combo Box in one of my Forms the displays an Account Number and an Account Name (2 columns in the combo box) (see image). The last few digits of the account numbers are cut off in the combo box (column 1). I tried widening the combo box, but it only widened the Account Name portion of the box (column 2). How can I widen the column 1 in my combo box?

    If you open your form in Design View and go to the Properties Sheet, can you find the ComboBox control's Column Widths property? I believe it is under the Format tab of the Property Sheet.
