I have multiple memo fields adjacent in a report. I want the report to appear like an MSWord table where all cells in a row grow to the maximum. I have tried cangrow all fields and use their borders as gridlines but not all fields always grow to the maximum. I cannot seem to control the height of objects in visual basic on a detail line by detail line basis as they all use the default. Is there anywhere that the resultant height of an object can be found after detail line formatting event. Am I barking up the wrong tree?

I don't know if this will work since I've never tried it - but how about drawing your own grid lines rather than using the border property for the individual fields. I think the vertical lines will grow if the section expands as long as their can shrink/can grow propertits are set to yes.
