Hi,

 I'm trying to write a helpdesk application where the top part of the screen is a master form and the bottom is the child. In the child form, I'd have details such as

action, date, acting_id, job_id

The action  is the only long field in the recordset, all the others are only a few characters. The action field may be upto 300 characters long. What I'd like to do is show the data in a table format with the headers at the top as described and then the field details, however the problem I have is that as soon as a long result is displayed the table cell positions become distorted and a horizontal sccroll bar appears meaning the user has to scroll several screens to the right.

 I've looked at datagrid, datagridview and a repeater control, but have not yet found any straight forward way to do this. All I want is the table grid lines to stay in position, the text in the cell simply to word wrap or overflow so that the user can use horizontal scroll.

 Any help much appreciated.

Thanks
