Multiple lines in datasheet view

[Murray]

Hi all
Is it possible to have multiple lines in the header of a Form in Datasheet
view? We have a Form that has long field names e.g Date invoice completed.
In datasheet view this consumes a large amount of screen space, therefore if
it could be shown on 2 or more lines would be good as follows:

Date Invoice
completed

Similar to text wrapping in Excel.
Thanks in advance

Nope, sorry that functionality doesn't currently exist. I agree it would be
a good one to add (Microsoft - take note )

The best suggestion I could make is to use a continuous form instead,
formatted if you like so as to look like a datasheet view. In the labels in
the form header, you can get multiple lines, or else make two rows of
labels. Unfortunately, if you like some of the special features of
datasheets, such as column resizing, you won't be able to get them in
continuous forms view; at least, not without some heavy-duty coding.
