Can Grow on reports

[TJBernard]

I have a text box with the Can Grow property set to YES. The Report Section's Can Grow property is also set to YES. When the text box's Record Source = a field named [CompanyName] the text box grows just fine. When I set up the text box so that the Record Source = "Company Name = " & [CompanyName] then the text box will not grow.

Why does the extra text concatenation prevent the text box from growing, and is there a way around this?

Anytime I use the concatenation "=" the text box will not grow.

If anyone has any ideas let me know.

Thank you for your time.

T.J.

I haven't run across that formatting behavior problem, but why don't you just create a label for your string portion, and then align it alongside your text box which just has the field name as the Control Source if your results need to grow?

HTH,
