    Auto expand memo field vertically to fit text


    Hi,

    I have a sub form (Tabular) and users add notes in a memo field called 'Notes'. I would like the memo field to expand vertically to fit the text to make it easier for users to view the notes in one go without having to scroll or zoom from each seperate memo field.

    To give you a rough idea of the size, the memo field should fit approx 50 characters before wrapping to the next line.

    Any help would be much appreciated.

    Kind regards,

    Grant

    Maybe try setting the object's width, and the CanGrow to Yes or 1 in the property sheet...
