match field size with another

[wiremonkey22]

I have a report with 6 fields in a row, i only want one of them to grow or shrink depending on the amount of words in it. What i need is the other fields in the detail section to match the height of that one field. I have tried to set the height property (me.fieldA.height = me.fieldB.height) ive put this in the report open, load, current, the field itself, with no results. I am using borders on it and have also tried to set the border width. Any idea Thanks for reading.

You would use the ON FORMAT event of the section which the controls are in.

I have it in the Detail format event like this, these fields are pulled from a query.

Private Sub Detail_Format(Cancel As Integer, FormatCount As Integer)
Me.CodeNumber.Height = Me.TASK_REF.Height
End Sub

I currently only have the TASK_REF property set to can grow/shrink i want the other fields to size with it, it still wont work, am i setting the wrong property, do all the fields need to be set to grow/shrink, Im not familiar with using the On Format event. Thank you.
