I'm having problems with text fields that are longer than the box. I've been trying the subform as flowed but it still isn't working.
I haven't used this a lot so any help would be appreciated!

Hi,
If you select the textfield and go to the Layout palette, there is an 'expand to fit' checkbox under the object height. Tick this and the textfield will expand on exit to show all of the text input. It will shrink if text is removed from the field.
Because you have a flowed subform this will work a treat.
Paul Guerette is giving a talk on the 30 November on dynamic forms. This will be well worth attending on line. Details here: Presentation on Dynamic Forms
Good luck,
Niall

Well, I did try that but it didn’t work. If I forward my form would you look at it?

Hi,
You just need to save the form as a Dynamic XFA Form in the save as dialog:
Expanding textfields and flowed layouts are dynamic behaviour and require the form to be saved as dynamic. If the form is saved as static then these fetures will just not work.
Good luck,
Niall
