Well, I got that much the first time. Did using CanShrink
take care of your question?
If not, you will have to expand on how the controls (not
fields) appear in the report. Are they all next to each
other across the page or are they one above the other down
the page? Do you want them to be blank or do you want the
other controls to move up/left to squeeze out the blank
space? Do they have attached labels? What are their border
property setting?
