Non-breaking hyphen

[ddub]

Hi,

Does anyone know if it is possible to put in a non-breaking hyphen into a textbox so that text looks like this:

something something-50,000

instead of this:

something something -
50,000

Thanks,
ddub

Hyphens don't generate breaks. Perhaps you should make the edit control a bit wider?

Hi beetee,

That would seem like an option, however, that textbox can contain variable length data and so I won't know when a hyphenated word will occur. Since it's the report that users are having this problem with, I guess I could size the width of the textbox in the form to the same width as the report control so it would be kinda WYSIWYG when they enter text into the form.

I was just thinking Access might have some special key combination like MS Word's Ctrl-Shift-Hyphen to make a non-breaking hyphen.

Thanks for the suggestion though.

Sorry, totally underestimated the problem you were having. There is a rich edit control in the ActiveX set; I don't profess to be an expert in RTF, but it's possible there's some sort of non-breaking hyphen in that format.

Should such a code exist in RTF, you may find you have to detect and insert the code via Visual Basic.
