Oh, I'm with you Tore. It's just that you CAN do it - not that I would. Would be useful though for, say, displaying a whole address (one you're sure won't go any bigger than the text box, but I think even then you can move to end if not visible in size of box)

>Maybe it's my memory doing tricks on me, because I did not remeber that you can. However, I still think an editbox is the right object for this purpose. But you may have other preferences. That's one of the cool features with VFP, there are usually more ways to get the same result.

>>>Then you must use an editbox, a textbox can not display more than one line. Thisform.myEditbox.value=TableName.Name + chr(13)+chr(10) + TableName.Address
