Hi,

I am creating a report that has a text box based on a memo field. This
field contains text that can vary in length from one sentance to a paragraph.
I set the property of this text box to "Can Grow" = Yes because of this.
Below this I have a label that has some fixed text in it. This is all in my
page header where I want it to be. The problem is that when the can grow =
yes exists for my text box my label dissapears. If I change it to Can grow =
No then the label reappears. I want the can grow to equal to yes and still
have the label to appear. Can anyone help?

Thanks,
 
This probably happens because Page Header sections can't grow. You might
want to try create a fake page header by creating a new primary sorting and
grouping level with a field/expression of
=1
Display the group header for this grouping level and set the section's
Repeat Section property to Yes. Then move all controls from your Page Header
section to this new =1 Group Header section.
 
Duane,

Thanks for your help. This solved my problem. I do have a follow up
question though. I have added some of our products and quantities to the
detail sections and everything looks fine. I have them added a label with
some text below this in the page footer section. The problem again is that
there is a big gap between where the detail section ends and where the text
in the label starts. I have my label in my page footer right up against the
bottom of my detail section. I set my details section to Can Grow and Can
Shrink to equal yes. Is there a reason why there is a gap here still?

Thanks,
 
The detail section prints generally at its first opportunity print. The page
footer always prints at the bottom of the page.
