Page Header wont grow.

[ReAn]

I have text boxes set togrow if needed in my page header, but the header will not grow to account for larger text boxes... any ideas?

The Page Header also has can grow/can shrink properties that need to be set.

Are you sure? I cannot seem to find them anywhere.

 

[Rich]

can you use a group header instead?

 

[ReAn]

no, it must be on each page

 

[Rich]

you can of course force a group header on each page

I don't think you all understand the scope and design of my report.

- Sorry, it seems that the Page Header/footer are the only header/footer that can't grow/shrink. I guess it makes sense that the Report Header/footer can't grow now that I think about it. Access needs to know when it is calculating the size of a page how much space to leave for the page header and footer. Size the controls so that they will accomodate the largest value.

Could programatically estimate the height needed at run time and set the height property?

That might work but if it would, why wouldn't the report's page header and footer be sizable like all the other headers and footers?
