    Multi-line textbox

    Hi Guys,

    I'm trying to find the multiline property for a text box and I don't see it. I need the textbox on my form to be multiline, word wrap and have scroll bars as needed. I could swear the text box in access supported this, but perhaps I'm thinking VB. I'm using Access 2016. Any help you can provide is appreciated.

    Thanks for the heads up Andy. But what happens if I do a cut/paste? I most likely won't be typing in the data. I will be using cut/paste from a web site.

    Should work. You would need to turn on the vertical scrollbar unless you intend to make the control high enough to display the max number of lines you expect to encounter.

    The control is fairly good size in both height and width but I have turned on the scroll bar regardless. Thanks for the assist
