Width of combo box pull-down

[VirgilMachine]

This may be answered here, but I can' think of a reasonable way to search for it...I'm not finding it...so I apologize if I'm being redundant.

I have a simple form for a clients tab, with a sub form for a cross-reference table that links clients and events. The cross-reference table has lookup fields for event-type and location. On the subform, I use a query to populate a single combo box with date/type/location concatenated. This all works fine.

When I want to add a new event for a client, I use the pull-down arrow to select the appropriate events. This also works, but the concatenated field is truncated on the right so I only see the date and part of the type. The add works, the only problem is that I would like the user to see the full description, and I can't see how to do that.

Can someone direct me to a solution?



Thanks.

With your form in "Design" view, highlight the combobox, and look at the property sheet.
The width property is near the top of the list.

That should have worked.

I knew it was simple. Actually, it was the "column width" property. I had to increase the one for the concatenated field and change the others to 0.

The field was displaying properly ion the form, it was only when I used the pick list to select a new event or update an existing on where I had the problem.

Thanks for the help.
