Grow/Shrink on combo boxes?

[kbrooks]

I have a report where I want one of five fields to populate the same area...only one of them will actually have info entered into it, the rest will be blank. I thought I could change the Can Grow and Can Shrink to Yes but apparantly that's not an option for a combo box?

I need these fields to be combo boxes, but not on the report. Can I make them a plain text box on the report only?? Or is there another way to do this? Thanks!

Right click on the combo in the report, select change to text box.

I changed all the fields to text boxes but it's still leaving a separate line for each possible field, even though only one of them is populated.

Pat, I'm not exactly sure what you mean by overlapping controls. Can you clarify a little for me? Thanks!

Ok that makes sense. They didn't overlap at all, yet it was still leaving space. Not as much as when I had them as combo boxes, but it still left an extra line or two.
