Lines in detail section, how to control the height

[Dejan]

I am designing simple tabular report. In the report
Detail section I have 5 text boxes, same initial height
of 0.166 inches. Between the boxes I have vertical lines,
height 0.166 inches. One of the text boxes has
CanGrow=TRUE and sometimes it grows. I want lines to grow
together with the control.

I have tried in Detail.OnFormat event procedure something
like this:

Me!Line15.Height=Me!txtDescription.Height

, but it did not work. Any ideas would be really
appreciated.

The grown height of txtDescription won't be known until the On Print event.
This is too late to set the height of a control. I use the Line method to
draw a vertical line. There is a sample of this in the standard Calendar
report available at http://www.invisibleinc.com/divFiles.cfm?divDivID=4.

Thank you so much!

After posting the question, I did some extra research and
found the same advice you gave me in the book "Access 95
How To", by Ken Getz and Paul Litwin.

Thank you!
