Hi there,
Is there a way of making the text field in a report automatically resize (in terms of row height) when a report is run? My report has a 'comments' field, and the comments text box on the report is say 8cm long by 2cm high but some comments for certain report rows are larger than the text box. What usually happens is that if the comments field text is too long it simply gets cropped. I am hoping that the row height would adjust dynamically to cater for the full text length. I don't want to make the box massive to cater for the exceptions, as generally the case for this report is that comments is very short.. except for a few exceptions...

I hope that I am making myself clear...
Any suggestions??
Cheers
 
Yup, there sure is...

In the properties window for your textbox, under the format tab, look for the 'Can Grow' property. Change that to yes and your problem should be solved! :p
 
Legend!
Thanks for that. It seems so simple now
