Good Day

I have a subform which has textboxes and combo boxes that appear in a datasheet view when the form is loaded.

According to the article below, to adjust the indivudal column widths, the form should have a column width property, one I can't seem to find (the article is for VBA users, in this case I just want to pre-set the widths).

I can't seem to find this property, and my collumns always re-size back to the default size after I close the form, any ideas?

Thank you

A lot of people create continuous forms that appear just like datasheets.

It's not too hard to do, and I believe there's a wizard to do it in later versions of Access.

There are quite a few advantages to doing this, the obvious one being that you can control all the formatting - including column/field widths.

Another advantage is that you can use controls like command buttons which you can't with a datasheet.
