Hello!
I have a question regarding Access97 text box dimensions.
I am using a text box for data input on an input form for a database. I have the form set to "continous forms", so that a new form will pop up underneath the current form to enter data for a new record, as opposed to a single form with record navigation buttons. For a particular text box on this form, I wish to dynamically dimension the text box as the user inputs data so as to have the text box expand
to accomodate keeping all text input in view, as opposed to using a static size text box and a scroll bar to view text. The code for this does appear to work correctly. However, it appears that ALL the replicated and the original text boxes share the same dimensions, since when the size of this text box on one form changes, the size of the corresponding text box on all the other forms changes as well. Since the data in each text box will likely be different and I wish each box to appropriately sized, this is not a desirable result.
Now the question: Is there a way to change the dimensions of a single text box without changing the demensions of each corresponding text box on other forms when using the "continous form" setting? Any info you can provide would be most appreciated.
Thanks, Larry
