Thanks for the help. I used FldRecalculateField() and text displayed properly, but the scrollbar doesn't show up. Here's my new code:
#define About_text "1\n2\n3\n4\n5\n6\n7\n8\n9\n10\n11\n12\n13\n14\n15\n16\n17\n18\n19\n20\n" Char *test = About_text; form = FrmGetActiveForm(); FrmDrawForm(form); fieldindex = FrmGetObjectPtr(form,FrmGetObjectIndex(form,AboutField)); FldSetTextPtr(fieldindex,test); FldRecalculateField(fieldindex,true); FldDrawField (fieldindex); This is what I have in my .rcp file: FIELD ID AboutField AT ( 5 5 140 60) USABLE LEFTALIGN NONEDITABLE MULTIPLELINES HASSCROLLBAR The string that gets displayed is cut off after 10. -Nathan -- For information on using the ACCESS Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.access-company.com/developers/forums/
