Care to share your bigger than shift-f2 function?  Sounds interesting.

Hi Jeff

On forms that have text boxes that are too small, because of real estate
issues, to display all the
text they can hold, I give a "double click to add/edit data in this
field"
option.
User double clicks and up pops my own hand rolled unbound 'zoom' box.
Bigger
than the Shift/F2 version
(You can add extra features as required)

I pass the relevant value to it when opened - allow edits to take place
there
and save changes once it's closed and refresh the 'calling' field on the
'calling' form

December of last year Gustav gave us this link.

I haven't tried it yet... but it looks promising.

I have a field in a table which is a Memo Field.
On the form, I am using a text box to hold the data.
The field shows 300+ characters in the table, but when I view it in a
form
(in Datasheet view) using the Shift/F2 zoom viewer, I can only see 255
characters.
When I send the data to an MS Word document, everything is there.
When I close the document and the form, then reopen the form, the data
still
will not appear in the Zoom Viewer.
But if I check the table itself, all of the data is there.
 
Any ideas on why I cannot view ALL of the data in the field???
 
TIA
 
Jeff B
