Extra Lines in a Field in a Form
Lee Shastid

I hope I am calling this right. I have a field NOTES on a form. I want that field to limit the text to the length I have the box set at, However, is it possible to basically wrap text it to where it will go to another line below that without having to create 2 NOTES fields?

What data type is your notes field?
If you want it to wrap, you are better off making it long text and making the field on the screen deep enough for two or three lines as your design requires.

I have made it long text. What do you mean deep enough (as in the length of the text box)? It is on a product entry form and I did what I would call two columns of fields so it would be easier to see and go through on the screen. So this field is in the right columns. Wasn't sure how to keep it all on the same screen.

Please send a screenshot of your form in Design View, showing that view.
