I've got a report with several text boxes and/or sub-reports in the detail
section, and I'm having trouble keeping their horizontal alignments as
needed. Maybe someone can clue me into the "caviats" (or to a usefull
source that goes into the details and work-arounds...)
Many thanks in advance,
Mark
Here's the conditions I've got...
- the detail section is organized in three (3) columns (these are purly
graphic, and comply with the "format" of the report)
- in each column are 1 to seveal text boxes and/or sub-reports,
- currently the first control in each columnis a text box with a height of
..2" and can grow
- addtional controls (below the 1st textbox) have a height of .0", can grow,
and are seperated from the control above by a short space
my conflict is:
- the columns are completely independent in thier horizontal alignment (and
the growth of a control in column 1 should not affect the positon of a
control in column 2. The control in each column should be positioned
directly below the control above it (in the same column...)
- however; what is happening is that as a control in one column "grows", it
pushes the vertical position of controls in adjacent columns downward (to a
vertical position below itself.) This results in occasssional large and
undesirable gaps in the content of the column.
