Is there a way to make a textbox in a report grow horizontally depending on the size of character in the textbox?

Any solutions welcome.TQ

Not automatically. You need to resize the control with the report open in design view.

It would be nice if you could join the sides of adjacent text boxes, to make them "stick together" and have them auto-resize. There is a can grow and can shrink property but it only changes the height. I have the same problem with the appearance of addresses in my reports. The city is always a "mile" away from the comma or state. It makes it look kinda bad. Is there any alternative solution to this problem?

Path,

Try using the TRIM function on your mailing label. If you use the label wizard it will automatically add this very useful function.

bon chance,
