Question : Text Field "Overflow" (Needs to be scrolled) indicator

Is there a way to detect whether a vertically scrollable text field on a form has text that is not shown (i.e., you need to scroll to see it?)

I've got a situation in which a lot of these fields will be visually scanned, and I would like to be able to perform a test and show/hide a little red rectangle next to the lower right corner of the field if there are lines that need to be scrolled to.

I cleverly built the subform these text fields are on so it is exactly 3 lines high, which effectively hides any 4th line completely. I could make the form a little taller, so that a half line would show...but some kind of test and the little red indicator would be more certain.

Any guidance on this would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Answer : Text Field "Overflow" (Needs to be scrolled) indicator

Chr(13) is Carriage Return
Chr(10) is Line feed

Me.Text4.SetFocus    '<-------Your text box
strVal = Me.Text4.Text
If Len(strVal) > 10 Or InStr(strVal, Chr(13)) Or InStr(strVal, Chr(10)) Then  '<---looks for line feed or CR
Me.Box7.Visible = True    '<-------------Your red box
Else
Me.Box7.Visible = False
End If
