Access Tip of the Day
Take the guesswork out of sizing controls (Access 97/2000/2002)
You'll find this tip helpful if you've ever had to repeatedly open a form or report in Design view to tweak the size of a control because it wasn't big enough to display all of your data. When you click on a control's sizing handles in Design view, Access displays the number of characters that the control will display in the program window's status bar. Access adjusts this number based on the control's font attributes, so it's easy to tell what impact such property changes will have on the amount of data that can be shown in the control.
