subform multi line

Is there to have a multi line show up on a subform.  I have a PO Form that the description is usually more than 1 line.  I have the description field set up as a multi line but when I enter info when it is a subform, it only accepts info as single line.

Is this a table view subform or a form view subform?

If you press F6 in the Table cell, you will get the expanded field editor, where you can type multiple lines. Once you close the Editor, the cell will still be one line tall, unless you expand it manually. Sesame 3 will automatically adjust the height of table rows, but Sesame 2 does not.

You are probably going to need to use a merge routine or PrintString, depending on what you are doing. PrintForm just prints what you see on the screen. The SesameSeasons sample application includes an example of using PrintString to print out an Invoice with line items.
