[Solved] Multi Line Text in Form- Only showing 1st

Post by AmberV »

I am not able to have all of my multi line text in my form show up in my table. The table is created for a memo to allow longer text, but only the first line appears in the table.

Add a multi-line text box to the same form and link it to the correct database column. It will show the full text of the current record.

I am sorry I am still confused. :(

Here is a little background that may help:

1. I created a table and in the cell I selected a memo (so I could have longer text)
2. I filled out my form that I created from the table. I am able to insert all of the necessary text in the form and it shows up perfectly.

The problem is that I do not see all lines of text in the cell on the table.
