Dear all,

I have a report and there are five text box (solid border style property) at
the detail section.
One of the text box has property can grow = yes. The problem is how to make
the horizontal line is align when the can grow text box contains more than
one line.
Thanks.

Regards,
Vensia
 
1) Set the Border Style of the text boxes to transparent.
2) Use the OnPrint event procedure to draw lines around the text boxes.

You would then write code that looks like this:

Private Sub Detail_Print(Cancel As Integer, PrintCount As Integer)
Me.Line (textbox1.Left, textbox1.Top) _
-Step(textbox1.Width, textboxThatCanGrow.Height), , B
Me.Line (textbox2.Left, textbox2.Top) _
-Step(textbox2.Width, textboxThatCanGrow.Height), , B
Me.Line (textbox3.Left, textbox3.Top) _
-Step(textbox3.Width, textboxThatCanGrow.Height), , B
Me.Line (textboxThatCanGrow.Left, textboxThatCanGrow.Top) _
-Step(textboxThatCanGrow.Width, textboxThatCanGrow.Height), , B
End Sub

If you have more than one text box on a row that can grow, you will have to
add code to check which textbox is the tallest and replace
‘textboxThatCanGrow.Height’ with the TheTallestTextbox.Height.

e.g.
Dim Tallest
If textboxThatCanGrow1.Height > textboxThatCanGrow2.Height Then
Tallest = textboxThatCanGrow1.Height
ElseIf ……..

End If
