The MultiLine property cannot be set to olWidthMultiLine unless the AutomaticColumnSizing property is set to True.

Private Sub ConfigureMultiLineView() 
 
 Dim objTableView As TableView 
 
 
 
 If Application.ActiveExplorer.CurrentView.ViewType = _ 
 
 olTableView Then 
 
 
 
 ' Obtain a TableView object reference for the 
 
 ' current table view. 
 
 Set objTableView = _ 
 
 Application.ActiveExplorer.CurrentView 
 
 
 
 With objTableView 
 
 ' Set the TableView object so that, 
 
 ' if the text in the view is longer 
 
 ' than 50 characters, the text is 
 
 ' displayed in multiline mode. 
 
 .AutomaticColumnSizing = True 
 
 .MultiLine = olWidthMultiLine 
 
 .MultiLineWidth = 50
