Step 7: Change the Misc. Notes field.<br />

We want the Misc. Notes control, which has a field type of Memo, to have a vertical scrollbar for<br />

additional text space if desired.<br />

1) Control+click the Misc. Notes field. <strong>The</strong> green handles should surround the field but not its<br />

label.<br />

2) Click the Control icon to open the Properties window (Figure 202).<br />

3) Scroll down to the Scrollbars setting. Change the selection from None to Vertical in this<br />

dropdown list.<br />

4) Close the Properties window.<br />

5) Lengthen the Misc. Notes field by moving the cursor over the middle green handle at the<br />

bottom of the field and dragging down until the length is 6 cm (2.4 inches).<br />

Step 8: Change labels and fields in the subform.<br />

<strong>The</strong> subform is located at the bottom of the form. We want to widen the Date column, change the<br />

field in the PaymentType column to a list box, and change the label for the PaymentType column to<br />

two words.<br />
