show continous fields

I would like a control (or subform) on a form to behave similar to a report
field set to "can grow" and "can shrink". I want to view several records
continously, not broken up like the continuous forms requires, but more like
a report that shows the data continuously. I tried putting report on a form
like a subform, but MS Access doesn't go for that. Is there any way to
accomplish this? In this setting the data is for viewing only.
 
Yo can use the form record source to remove the records that you don't want
to display, if Null or Empty?
Why do you need to shrink the text boxes in the form?
 
I have a subform with detail records linked to the main form on ClientId. I
have a text field with variable lengths of string data, perhaps a paragraph,
or just one sentence.
This is what I want to see:

Text record1
space
text record2, etc.

A report does this easily, but I want the same look on a form. I could put a
large unbound control on the form and loop through the records, but have not
gotten that working, either. I thought someone had likely already solved this.
