[AccessD] acCmdZoomBox issues

I thought I did it the 2nd way years ago, but testing it this morning
I see it opens the Zoom box in a modal mode.

You might have to create a simple pop up form as suggested by Stuart.

You can use a bigger text box with larger font and force the entry at
the end of the existing text.

What is the reason for the Zoom box? Usually they should be used to
display more data than is allowed on the form or datasheet.
If they are allowed to edit/enter data, I'd force them to do it via a
new pop up form, emulating a zoom box.
