this is for ArcPad 10.0. So when you are looking at the fields you have created and you click on the drop down menu you can not read all that is on that line. Is there a way to widen these drop downs? Thanks

Can you attach a screenshot?

As you can see in the Distribu_1 field you can not see the whole number. Thanks for the help.

It would be hard to know for sure without seeing code, but can you edit your .apa file.   You should be able to adjust the width and height attributes.  A snippet of one of my forms...

<FORM name="frmFltSetup" caption="FlightSetup" width="130" height="120" tabsvisible="true">
     <PAGE name="FlightSetuppage" caption="Flight Setup">
          <LABEL name="lblPilot" x="2" y="2" width="40" height="20" caption="Pilot Last Name:" tooltip="" group="false" border="false"/>
          <LABEL name="lblObserver" x="2" y="50" width="44" height="20" caption="Observer's Last Name:" tooltip="" group="false" border="false"/>
          <EDIT name="lstPilot" x="-20" y="-14" width="54" height="10" default="Application.UserProperties(&quot;strPilot&quot;)" defaultvalue="" tooltip="" group="false" tabstop="true" border="true" readonly="false" sip="auto"/>
          <LISTBOX name="lstPilot" x="52" y="1" width="72" height="51" listtable="pilots.dbf" listvaluefield="PILOTNO" listtextfield="PLT_LNAM" defaultvalue="Application.UserProperties(&quot;strPilot&quot;)" onselchange="ThisEvent.Object.Parent.Controls(&quot;lstPilot&quot;).text = ThisEvent.Object.Text &#xA;SetPilot" group="false" tabstop="true" border="true" readonly="false" showvalues="false" sort="true" hscroll="true" vscroll="true"/>
          <EDIT name="lstObs" x="-152" y="18" width="54" height="10" defaultvalue="" tooltip="" group="false" tabstop="true" border="true" readonly="false" sip="auto"/>
          <LISTBOX name="lstObs" x="52" y="54" width="75" height="66" listtable="observers.dbf" listvaluefield="OBSNUM" listtextfield="OBS_LNAM" defaultvalue="Application.UserProperties(&quot;strObs&quot;)" onselchange="ThisEvent.Object.Parent.Controls(&quot;lstObs&quot;).text = ThisEvent.Object.Text &#xA;SetObserver" group="false" tabstop="true" border="true" readonly="false" showvalues="false" sort="true" hscroll="true" vscroll="true"/>
          <EDIT name="spnComputer" x="-119" y="47" width="12" height="10" defaultvalue="" tooltip="" group="false" tabstop="true" border="true" readonly="false" sip="auto"/>

</FORM>

I don't usually use the ArcPad Builder.

Also might be contained in a .apl file.

If you open the file in Arcpad Studio and double click "editform", you can visually stretch them out longer.
