Show all content in one field

[Tecch82]

I'm not sure how to describe the problem in the field, but here's the problem:



I'm using the "Assets" template that comes with Access 2010; I've modified it slightly. I’m creating an Access DB to store our CD keys; one field I have created is called “Comments”. It will sometimes store a large amount of text. In the screen shot below you can see that only the first line is visible. Is there a way that when the mouse is hovered over the field all of the content can be displayed? Similar to the way Excel handles it's Comment option. I could exand the height of the rows, but I'd prefer not to as we will have a couple of hundred entries.

Here’s an example of what's actually in the field:

x13 Licenses
xx zz
xx zz
zz xx
zz xx

Hi, thank you for the reply. I am not sure what to do with this; but a tooltip does sound like what I'm looking for.

Would have to incorporate the code in your database. It's the only thing I've ever seen that comes close to what you want.

That's too bad, I guess I'll have to come up with a different method then. Thanks,
