is the "Border Style" of the textbox  set to Solid ?

<div>
As I mentioned above, as long as that &quot;Comments&quot; field contains data it shows the border, but if that field does not contain any data, it doesn't show the border.

OMG, yes it did work. &nbsp;You are a God Send. &nbsp;Thank you so very much. &nbsp;I thought I was going to have to write some sort of code to do it.<br />
<br />
But as you indicated, that does make sense.<br />
<br />
Thanks again, great job!!!!!!<br />

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I have a report in Access that has a &quot;Comments&quot; text box. &nbsp;If there is no comments in this field, the border does not show, so all the other fields on this report have a border, but this field looks blank.<br />
<br />
How can I get the text box &quot;Comments&quot; to show the border whether there is data or not?<br />
<br />
Thanks,<br />

How to show borders of a text box in MS Access even if there is no data

Microsoft Access is a rapid application development (RAD) relational database tool. Access can be used for both desktop and web-based applications, and uses VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) as its coding language.

Microsoft Access

Most development for the Microsoft platform is done utilizing the technologies supported by the.NET framework. Other development is done using Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) for programs like Access, Excel, Word and Outlook, with PowerShell for scripting, or with SQL for large databases.
