This is very strange! *682008

[Earl.AKA J.Alladien in access forum!!]

Hello,

I have a memo field in my report which I have "configured" as " can grow "
and " can shrink " as I have done in my previous reports, but it does not
display the whole memo-text , it shows only half, and I thought the whole "
can grow " option was for the purpose to show the whole text!
The strange thing is that it does work in my other reports!
Am I missing something?
Thanks in advance for the help!

Make sure the report section can grow also, as well as any other controls on
the same line as your memo field's text box.

Make sure the report section can grow also, as well as any other controls on
the same line as your memo field's text box.

Can Grow/ Can Shrink will not work properly with controls that are
placed next to each other horizontally, so check for that.

Also, make sure that your control doesn't overlap any other controls.
If you're not sure, you can use the menu option to *decrease* Vertical
Spacing. If your controls are just a tiny bit overlapped,
*decreasing* the spacing will actually (and non-intuitively)
*increase* it to Zero, making them perfectly adjacent.
