Okay Naeem. I think the term you are looking for is wrapping. I think you are saying that the text is wrapping to the next line if it does not fit in the first line. Do you want to show as much in the first line as will fit but then nothing more or do you need to do something else?

What data? Database data or data in a control or some other data? What determines that the data is too long? Is it the definition of the field or is it some other limitation?

thanks for the reply dear but suppress is not the solution asking about if i have long data suppose i have 5 digit numeric but i don't have space for it its automatically going in second line i want to compress this digits and come into one line should not be break without increasing field size...
