I have a listbox, displaying information regarding man holes covers. The list box contains several columns, with headers 'Cover ID', 'Tank ID', 'Cover marking', 'Where to find' and 'Special instructions'. Specially the 'Where to find' column can contain more info than the columns width.

What I'm looking for is a way where each row in a listbox, can have more than one line. Is that possible? Or are other tools with that possibility available?

Hope above is understandable. If not, let me know, and I will try to elaborate.

Thanks,
Anders

You can't do it with a list box.

You can consider using a continuous form subform which will give you the ability to display multiple lines in a textbox, but it might depend on what you are using the listbox for.

Ok. The listbox is 'only' showing info regarding man hole covers to a certain tank/closed compartment, and gets the data based on input in a combobox (see attached picture).

I have not worked with continuous form subforms before. Could you give a small hint perhaps??

Thanks.
