Question

I created a simple report in Access. One line per record (using the default tabular format with Report Wizard). However, one text field is sometimes too long and is truncated when one record is displayed on only one line.

How do I tell Access that when the text field is too long, display it (and the record) in more than one line as needed so that the complete text is shown? Thanks.

More info: I tried to increase the height of the text field, but then every record in the report had its height increased whether needed or not. This wasn’t what I wanted.

Answer 1

Set the CanGrow property of the text field to True.
This will increase the field height only in the lines where it’s really necessary.
