Avoid 2nd raw's line hide

[Jorgitopeter]

Hi, I'm Jorge from Argentina, and I have a little question. I have a portal, and when I write 2 or more lines into the same row, it hides all the lines but the first one... Is there any way to avoid hidding? I mean, like Microsoft Office Word's tables, in which as you write, the row's height increase?

Here I attach 2 pics to clarify my problem.

Thanks a lot. You're amazing. B)

jorge,

You can increase the size of the portal rows in the layout. However, they will all be the same large size whether there is one line or more typed in them. And you will always be able to type more text and exceed the height of the line again.

There is no way to make the portal rows individually expand to show all the data in the row.

Regards,

Don

Oh well... thanks a lot for your response. Then I leave my search. Thanks again for helping newbies like me. Take care.

I just solved that problem in a database I'm building.

It's a bit complex, but basically I assigned an auto-enter serial number to each record in the portal, then have a button to create a new note. I capture the serial number to a variable, add .01 to it, and sort the portal by that serial number. That way all notes stay with their record, and you can have 100 notes. If you need 3 lines, you add a note to the previous note, and the number is .02 larger than the record #.

Then, on the printed form, I calculate whether the serial # = INT(Serial #), if so, draw a line "___________" to separate the majors, but keep the notes together!

Hope that gets your creative juices flowing!!

What about assigning a Tooltip? When the user mouses over a row in a portal, all the contents of the field can show. Or do you need to edit it?
