How do I force a Field Title (in this case, it is the Caption) to show as 2
or 3 lines instead of just one LONG line?  The data is only 2 or 3 digits
long and the necessary caption is very long.  Thanks for your help.

You can't. Sorry.

Use a Form (for onscreen) or Report (for printing) rather than trying
to use a table datasheet for data presentation. Table datasheets have
many limitations, this among them.

Thanks for the feedback.  At least, I don't feel so stupid about not being
able to figure this out!  Now, if I can only figure out how to keep my users
from locking each other out of the database, I would really feel good!

They should have their own copies of a front end file, and each front end
should be linked to the tables in a back end file that is on a network
server.
