I'm working on a form where I have 2 different Text boxes on one line. I want the text box length of the 1st one to grow & shrink to the contents. I then want a second text box to bump up against the 1st. Right now they are static at the point in the form I place them. How do I make my 2nd text box not get overwritten by the first?

Well, this is the Access Reports forum. I'm not sure if you need this for a Form or Report but you can try this.
If it's a form then in the OnCurrent event for the form, you could try
Me.Textbox2.Left = Me.Textbox1.Left + Me.Textbox1.Width
set the can shrink/can grow properties for both textboxes to yes.
If it's a Report, then you can use the same principle but put it in the On Format event for the section the textboxes are in on the report.
