Size Access Controls to a Specified Character and Line Count

By Laura Noble

There is a quick and easy method to resize a control in an Access Report or Form to specified character count or line count.

	Select the control.
	Start to resize the control (when the mouse changes to a double-headed arrow, drag).
	The character count (including spaces) and line count for the size of the control will be displayed in the Status Bar as the mouse is being dragged.
	The character and line count will adjust as the control size is changed.
	Refer to the sample below.
