I want to know how to to autoflow text between textboxes.
*Normally only one textbox is used per object, but for diagramation &
presentation purposes I want to to use two textboxes instead of one.
*This means that the report begins with one textbox and, when the space is
filled, the rest of the text flows to the other textbox.
Your kind response will be appreciated,

I do not think this is possible in Access.

Text box1: = Left[variable name], (number of allowable characters))
Text box2: =Mid([variable name], (number of allowable characters in Text box1
+1))

If Text box2 is not wide enough to show all of the remaining text, you will
lose what ever wont fit.

If text boxes can be one below the other, use a single text box set to can
grow.

If text boxes must be side by side, then the space for the second text box will
be blank if there is no overflow. This means that the space for the first text
box might just as well be made as wide as the two text boxes combined and use
only one text box.

I think some versions of Access allow text boxes to grow horizontally.
