variable field width
I need to display client name and associated address information. There are
three rows of data which are taken from the contacts table. The field boxes are all fixed in width, I want to make the width dependant on the data length, and if the field data are short, the boxes would leave no extra white space. I may have several field boxes in a row, and I would like the boxes to go right next to one another without spaces, so each field box position is anchored to the end of the previous field box. How would I implement this? John. |

How would I implement this? If this is only for *display* then just use an expression in each of three stacked TextBoxes that span the length you need for all the data on a row. The TextBox won't change width, but the data will always be right next to each other. Example expression for City, State and Zip... =[CityField] & ", " & [StateField] & " " & [ZipCodeField] |
