Joe - you mentioned Text Box in the Subject and below - but, I think you are Actually referring to Edit Box. I tried both on a form - and looked at the properties -and only the Edit Box has a Vertical scroll.
My suggestion - and I didn't actually try this one out - is that you might try to put the data into some kind of cursor "on the fly" - and then view that data with a Grid. Then, with a Grid you could scroll vertically - although I am not sure if it would scroll properly in a Horizontal direction. Maybe you could even have the cursor have many fields - maybe each are 5 char wide or so - and then chop up the data and insert it into the cursor - and view with the grid. In the grid - you could make it look consistent by NOT displaying the Vertical and Horizontal lines within the grid. Then, this way - you should have no problem making in scroll in both directions. Of course, it WILL take some work to rig it up - but, it may work for what you need... ...anyway - just a thought. -K- On 2/19/2011 4:01 PM, Joe Yoder wrote: > I would like to have a text box on a form allow text to scroll horizontally > rather than doing a word wrap when a line is too wide to display in its > entirety.
