I have a text box which is 63 wide and several rows deep for a database field of 128 but when I type in to the box it just disappears off to the right. I want it to wrap within the box. How do I do this ?

Look under the Properties settings for your text area. There's an
option for word wrap and how much to throttle it.

Hello datadoit,
Thank you for responding. I cannot find any reference to word wrap. Under properties there are 3 tabs - format, data and events but nowhere in any of those tabs is wrap mentioned. Also, if I right click on the box I get several options :-
<Form> properties
<Table> properties
<TR> properties
<TD> properties
<Input> properties
and others but all I can find is a tick box in <TD> properties which allows me to "no Wrap" which is opposite to what I want to achieve !

Is it a textbox? it should be a textarea as DD said to wrap. You can right click on it to change it.

It says it is a text box
If I click on the Format tab in properties <INPUT> appears at the top of the properties
If I click on the Data or Events tabs in properties, "Text Box : Notes" appears at the top of the properties followed by Attributes, Caption, Visible etc but NO wrap.
It is a box into which I can type some notes to be stored in the notes field. I do not know how else to describe it.
