Sizing a long text field in a single row window

Postby jldum » Mon Feb 08, 2010 10:58 am

Hi there,

I am evaluating the data entry capabilities of DAI, and on a prototype Entry window I try to size a field to present a varchar(255) column in a field of 80 char long on 4 lines.
The field in design can be extended to the right (anyway 255 char on one line would be impossible) but not down.
What is the trick ?
Awaiting your reaction
Regards

Hi JL,

You have to change the form field type to "Memo" on the "Form details" Tab. This will allow you to resize the input box and make it multi-line.

..or here's a from scratch example:
