How do I make controls grow together in an Access report?

[Guest]

I want to have all fields in the same row grow to the height of the tallest
field. Nothing changes when I use the Format menu and select Size to Tallest.
All properties for each control are set to "grow". Any suggestions?

You would need to remove the borders from controls and use the Line method
in the On Print event to draw the rectangle around the controls. Stephen
Lebans has a PrintLines solution at his web site www.lebans.com.

Controls grow to accomodate their own data, not to line up
with other controls. In general, you don't care if they
grow the same or not, it's only the borders that you want to
line up. Unfortunately, for complicated reasons, that's not
going to happen.

What you need to do is draw the lines around the controls
using code in the section's Print event (see Help for the
Line method). Also unfortunately, this can be a tricky
affair to work through all the complexities.

Fortunately, Stephen Lebans has put it all together in his
PrintLines procedures at www.lebans.com
