PRB: Property List Boxes Show Two-Word Options on Two Lines
'Article ID: Q95452

Creation Date: 09-FEB-1993

Revision Date: 19-SEP-1996' The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft Access versions 1.0 and 1.1

SYMPTOMS

All the list boxes that show properties use two lines to display two-word options instead of putting each two-word option on a single line.

CAUSE

There is an incorrect List Separator in the International section of your WIN.INI file.

RESOLUTION

From the Main group in Program Manager, choose Control Panel. From there, choose the International icon. Change the List Separator to a comma. Now the Property list boxes in Microsoft Access will list two-word options correctly. Note that different List Separator entries will cause different results.

STATUS

This behavior no longer occurs in Microsoft Access version 2.0.

MORE INFORMATION

Steps to Reproduce Behavior

From the Accessories group in Program Manager, choose Notepad. From the File menu, choose Open. In the File Name box, type &quot;C:\WINDOWS\WIN.INI&quot; (without quotation marks), and then choose OK. If your Windows directory is in a different path than that shown in this example, modify the path accordingly. From the Search menu, choose Find. In the Find What box, type &quot;slist&quot; (without quotation marks) and then choose Find Next. Choose Cancel. Change the line in the WIN.INI file to look like this: "sList=&quot; &quot;" Save the file, quit Notepad, and restart Windows. Start Microsoft Access and open any form in Design view. Select the form's DefaultView property and look at the list of options. The options will look like: Default View....Single Form Continuous Forms Datasheet The list should look like this:

Default View....Single Form Continuous Forms Datasheet
