Formatting Labels With Details

[DBDUDE]

I am creating a report and playing around with the formatting. Every time I change a Field in the Header section, I want to automatically change the Detail field that corresponds to the label. For example, if I change the size of a text box in a Header section, I want the detail that the text box in the Header Section describes to resize accordingly, because they need to line up in the report. Does this make sense? Is this possible?

You want this to happen while you are running the report?

Yes. I want this to happen while running the report. Do I need to take care of this while in Design View?

What is going to cause the headers to move?

Are the headers moving to several preset locations or are they infinitely variable. If they are moving to presets, manually set them and the details and then take note of the Top, Left and perhaps Width properties of the various detail objects. Then use code to mofe them to the proper location.

If infinitely variable, you will need some kind of formula to match them up.

By the way, you will need to specify the location in "twips". There are 1440 twips/inch.
