Thank you for the reply.

This works but there is a problem: the user has to stretch the row in order to see it all.
Is it possible to have it stretched automaticaly line by line : what I mean is that if there is only a bit of text, that row will be 1 line high and on the next row, if that field has a lot of text it will stretch to the required nummber of lines to show all the text?

Thanks and welcome back
