Textbox in a Table Cell

I would like to place a Textbox in a Table Cell but each time I do it, it takes up the entire cell. Is there anyway to do this and control the size of the Textbox within the cell?

Hi,

you need to wrap the text field into a subform, which you then drag into the table cell.

As the subform is set to positioned, you can place the text field anywhere in the cell.

Not sure what I am doing wrong, but the subform takes on the size of the cell.

Correct.

Any object, that is put into a table cell automatically resizes to the given cell size.

But, if you put a subform into the cell and then another object into this subform, it still has it's original size.
