Modify Field Height on the fly

[Guest]

I'm creating a report based on a table with basically 3 fields (Order,
Features and Desc).

The Features and Desc fields have borders on the report. I've allowed the
Desc field to grow and want the Features field to grow with it (IE, want the
box around the features field to be the same height as the box around the
Desc field).

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
J

You can not get the border of one control to grow to the
Height of another control.

You can use the Line method to draw a rectangle around each
control using code in the section's Print event.

If the code for that is beyond your current skill level,
there is a complete solution for this problem in the
PrintLines sample fb at www.lebans.com
