Hi, this seems a simple task! created new form with form wizzard, standard label and text box field sizes are genrally ok. Great job all works fine, uploads to table, looks good. But to allow for more visible text during user input, I need to increase the width of just one text box field whilst keeping label size the same as the rest. I'm guessing this should be a simple task? but blowed if I can do it!! Any chance you might be able to let me know how to adjust either the width or depth of just one 'text box field' please. Can it be done by editing the form code from within the form manager? Any help would be appreciated, many thanks.

Hi glarkin,

Yes you can do it from the Form HTML box in the form editor - I'd probably just add style='width:xxxpx; height:yyypx;' to the appropriate div or input.

Hi GreyHead. Many thanks for quick reply, excellent job & sorted. One possible problem, how to top align text and to wrap text to box? or this getting a bit technical for me?!!! Brilliant support as always, as a total novice.... I am really getting to like this product!!!

Hi glarkin,

I'm not sure what that means. . . can you post a screenshot that shows what you want?

Hi GreyHead Screen shot attached, with field circled. Field in question would idealy need to be approx 3 or 4 lines in height. I can change both width and height of field with no problems, but then can only enter type in the centre of the box and the text does not wrap. I think I have found some html for what I want [ cols="20" rows="5" wrap="soft" ] but can't get it to work when placed in the form code. Any ideas? Many thanks G

Hi glarkin,

Text inputs -- which is what I think that is -- are only ever one line high. You want a textarea.
