Diane,
I don't think you can do what you are wanting to do. Why not just use an Editbox control in the grid and allow the memo to word wrap to the size of the column.
>I have created a grid that contains one column. That column is attached to a memo field in my view. The problem is when I try to display the field. The column only displays upto the width of the grid, even though I have set the width of the column manually to a greater width. Since the column is the same width as the grid, it doesn`t display the horizontal scroll bar. Is there a way to make the columnn longer than the grid`s display.
