I'll see if I can get a test form some time this week. In the meantime I chose a different solution - I added a button into another column to open a form with the whole reason to view. The reason is a memo field (varchar(max) in SQL Server) and the idea is to show ten chars in the column with the tooltip showing the whole memo field (up to 4K characters).

Thanks again, Koen.
