Truncated field in page header of report

[kcm549]

Greetings... A simple field I've added to the page header truncates to
the size of the field, EVEN THOUGH CAN GROW AND CAN SHRINK ARE BOTH SET
TO YES. What am I missing ??
Thanks in advance,

Is it because CanGrow & Can Shrink only applies to Vertical size (i.e.,
height), not horizontal length?

In addition, the CanGrow/CanShrink for the *Section* in which the control
resides has to be set to Grow/Shrink also.

Since a Page Header section doesn't have those properties, I'm not sure
what, if anything, would happen unless the control had enough room to grow
within the section "as-is".

Overlapping controls is another no-no.

You might review the VBE Help entry for CanGrow property.

The page header (as well as the page footer) does not have a can grow
property, so event though the control is set to can grow, the page
header cannot grow to accommodate it. Make sure there is room within
the page header, underneath the control, to allow the control to grow
within the page header.

Thank you--yes, because the Page Header does not have CAN GROW and CAN
SHRINK properties, I moved the information to its own header. Not the
best solution, but the only one.

Thanks for your help!
