Text Box Can Grow Property

[Guest]

I set my text box Can Grow property to Yes and the Can Shrink to Yes.
However, I only get about 5 lines maximum and the text in the field record is
cut short. How can I get the text box on report to grow (vertically) to
include all text that is stored in this field for each record? What am I
doing wrong? Any idea? The width is about 3.5" but this should not affect
the Can Grow feature. I checked the text in the form and it's all there.
This tells me that the field size is ok and not exceeded.

Do you by chance have it confined with othe objects?

Hi Karl,

What do you mean by "confined with other objects"? There are other text
boxes in the report.

Which section is the textbox in?

Does the section have a can grow property and if so is the section's
property set to true (yes)?

Page header and page footer cannot grow - If I recall correctly all
other sections can.

Did you also set the detail section CanGrow property to yes, assuming
your control is in the detail section.
