Hi,

Is it possible to wrap lines in the column headings of a ms-access form in
Datasheet View? The text in the heading appears to be the Name property of
the textbox in the design grid. If this text is somewhat long, not all text
is displayed in Datasheet View (I do not want to drag the columnwidth larger)

Thanks for help

Henk

I don't think it is possible. However, you can choose Continuous as the
form's Default View, and format the form to emulate Datasheet view. You
have a lot more design flexibility in Continuous view.

Where is "continuous view" activated. Is it on Access 2003 only or is it
available on 2002?

In Design View of the form, choose Properties from the toolbar. In the
Default View property choose Continuous Forms.
