Textbox on Report resizes by itself

[RedSkies]

I have a spreadsheet-like report containing a row of text and combo boxes in the detail section. In design mode, all the elements in the detail section are the same height. However at runtime, one of them shrinks to a slightly smaller height while the rest remain at the correct height. Needless to say, this makes the report look crappy!

I've compared all the properties of the fields that act as expected to those of the one that's shrinking and see no differences.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

just make sure your fields in the Detail, the property of 'Can Grow' turn to 'Yes'. Hope it will solve your problem.

well in fact you need to turn can grow and can shrink to NO hence stopping them from changing from the height and length set in design view

Thanks for your replies, guys. But I'd already played around with the CanGrow/CanShrink properties quite a bit.

I ended up working around the problem by borrowing some code I found in another thread to draw lines around each field, rather than using solid borders.

Thanks again.
