    Sub UpdateComment - is the length restrictions

    Hi All ,

    I have attached a file here , i previously posted get ideas to update comment via Userform

    Andy Pope has kindly suggested a great ideas.

    http://www.excelforum.com/excel-prog...n-comment.html

    I have added the function and it works great .

    Until lately users wanted to add comment as long as a paragraph , and it did not work any more .
    So was curious if anyone knows its its a length restrictions , and how its possible to add longer comment .

    I have tried text as length below @ 143 char (it did not work)
    One Two Three Four Five Six Seven Eight Nine Ten Evelen Twelve Thirteen Fourteen Fifteen Sixteen Seventeen Eighteen Nineteen Twenty TwentyOne

    I get the results printed until Sixteen. @ 97 Character.

    Any idea i can update longer comment ?

    Any suggestion is very much appreciated.
    Thanks very much in advance to all

    Cheers ,
    waihar

    Hi there,
    did not look deeper, but try to change this bit of Your code:
    objComment.Shape.TextFrame.Characters.Text = Text
    to this:
    objComment.Text Text
    'placed in Private Sub UpdateComment(InCell As Range, Text As String)'

    Tested once and works
    Regards

    thanks , it works great.

    Just one more questions , do you happens to know how can the comment box can auto expend to display the full comment .
    when cursor move to that place ?
    Currently i have to manually expend the message to see the full ones when user enter it very long.

    Cheers , waihar

    Hi there,
    Without searching, I know only 3methods how to work with comment size:
    1) Yours 'Autosize', which You already tested
    ...Comment.Shape.TextFrame.AutoSize = True
    2) Increment size every time with multiply actual size:
    ...Comment.Shape.ScaleWidth 1.1, msoFalse, msoScaleFromTopLeft
    ...Comment.Shape.ScaleHeight 1.04, msoFalse, msoScaleFromTopLeft
    3) Increment with static value:
    ...Comment.Shape.Height = .Comment.Shape.Height + 10
    ...Comment.Shape.Width = .Comment.Shape.Width+ 10
    Hope it helps
