Hi

I have created a query that asks for text to update a Notes field and then it asks for a WO Number (criteria).
[Enter Notes] and [Enter WO Number] which brings up 2 prompts and updates the correct fields

The query works fine however the when I run the query the prompt comes up for Enter Text but then it only gives me one single line to type in

I would prefer it to somehow allow it to be larger to view and perhaps allow multiple lines in some way.

I am not sure how to achieve this and I am not very good on access code, could someone point me in the right direction please.

Thanks
 
Hi,

If this is an MS Access question, it really would be better addressed in one of the many MS Access forums.

Are you using a FORM? You can get lots of real estate for a Textbox on a Form.

yes I tried putting it into an Access one but for some reason it kept coming back to this forum.

Yes I am using a form with a Button to activate the query and was just looking at a google about text boxes, haven't figure it out yet, will repost in access

Thanks for the reply
 
I'd suggest Forum702
