Can Grow Alignment Help Please!

[brittaink]

Everyone,

I have a problem that I really am struggling to resolve. I will try to paint you a picture;

I have a report with 6 vertically aligned text boxes (left-to-right). the 1st 2nd and 3rd boxes align at the top. The 3rd text box could be 1 or 255 characters (its a descriptive box). The 4th, 5th, and 6th box need to align with the bottom of the 3rd text box. I have the 3rd box set to "CanGrow" but I am struggling getting the 4th, 5th, and 6th box align to the same size as the 3rd after can grow.

I had a couple of ideas but cant make any of them work:

-Make 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th boxes grow to size of 3rd and bottom align
-Align the bottom of text boxes after can grow
-Set top margin of boxes 4,5,6 to the height of 3rd box (- 1 line)

I am in desperate need to resolve this situation asap

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Keith

Managed to get most of the problem sorted now thanks to labans.com Although I am having a problem still....

Firstly I have had to use a background image for my report as it is a pre-made form. On top of this I have placed my sub-report with the information I want to show in repeating sections. I will try to paint you a picture

I start with a page header which works brilliantly

Then The main report Detail which holds the background image that I need for every page of the report.

Ontop of the detail section there is a sub-report containing a repeating section

As the Subreport grows, I have formatted it to fit perfectly over the top of the picture.......

Until

When the sub-report grows to more than one page I need the main report detail section to repeat the picture again on the next page so that the subreport will carry on over the top.

I am having problems because if I set the main report detail to "CanGrow" then it only shows the picture on the first page. If it is not set to "CanGrow" then I only get the first page of the report.
