[AccessD] ComboBox question

Arthur:

I'd put a text box next to the combo box big enough to display the whole 255
and every time there's a selection made in the combo, display it in the text
box. On the combo, will the user be able to select the one they want just
from the ID?  If so you don't even have to display any of the description.

I phrased it wrong. The combo displays an ID column and a Description
column, the latter being text 255 and the user might just fill it. So
displaying it with a simple horizontal scrollbar is, well, not great. I may
have to actually display the Description once the user has selected an item,
so she can see all the text. (It's detailed, and has legal implications, so
it's important that she reads it all to see if that's the right selection.)
