Growing TextBox covers up labels below it

I have a report that has a TextBox in the Page Header section whose CanGrow
property is TRUE. Unfortunately, there are some labels below the TextBox
that get "covered up" if in fact it contains enough text to force it to
grow.

Is there any way to fix this? I understand that the Page Header section
itself cannot be set to grow.

Hi John

If there are lables below your text box it sound like you "may" be want to
look at placing the results (the data in the text box) in a group header -
set the header to can grow and this will solve the problem.
 
Thanks Wayne. I'll try that.

ReportHeader perhaps? PageHeaders don't support CanGrow.

If the bottom of the growing object is higher than the top of objects beneath it
then it will "push" them down the page. If there is any overlap then it will
cover them as you are seeing. Either make the growing control shorter or move
it higher or move the labels beneath lower.
