Character limit on report header?

[Todd W]

Is there a limit to the number of characters in a report header text box? I
have a report that contains a text box which can vary in number of
characters. In the query behind the report, the complete text is present in
a field called msg. When I put msg in the report header, msg appears to get
truncated haphazardly.

Is this in the Report's Report Header section?
Set the text control's CanGrow Property to Yes.
Set the report Header's CanGrow property to Yes.
The control height will grow to accommodate the text and the report
header will grow also.

Is this in the Report's Page Header section?
Set the text control's CanGrow property to Yes.
However, the Page Header does NOT have a CanGrow property, so even
though the control will grow to accommodate more text, the Page Header
will not grow, therefore the text will be cut off when it reaches the
bottom of the section.
