memo entry

Any suggestions appreciated

I have a field in a document management database
that will show countries and towns refered to in various
single documents. I am therefore, intending to put
numerous entries in a single box(EG paris, london,
frankfurt, new york, dublin, los angeles etc etc)Some of
these documents refere to hundreds of cities and towns.
I would like the entries in the box to scroll benieth one
another with a scroll bar. rather than run along the box,
out of sight. can this be done? or is there another way
of doing it completely?

Am looking back to older posts, so not sure if you're
still looking for ideas.

Don't think what you want can be done in table view, but
it can be done in form view. Separate each city name with
Ctrl+Enter. This starts a new line in the field. The
field box will show a scroll bar on the form if there is
more data in the field than the box's design height will
display, so you can make the box only two or three lines
high and "longest city name plus a bit" wide.

WATCH OUT, though... If you later want to use this field
in a report, you'll have big display problems if the list
gets more than a few cities long. Think ahead on this
idea - you may create more problems than you want.

Hope this helps
