I have serveral text boxes on my form that are populated by code. sometimes
there is more text than fits in the box. I would like the box to grow
vertically to accomadate the text

I have set the 'can grow' property to 'Yes' yet they do not grow (as report
controls do with the same treatment)

Is there something else I should be doing to enable that action or am I
expecting too much from a form?

If they are being populated after the form is opened then try including
Requery in your code.

You're expecting too much from a form in form view. For forms, the CanGrow
property only applies when the form is printed. However, see Stephen
