I have ampere reports that is built as a liberate form. One record for 1-BOL with their details on 1 page.

MYSELF have place all my fields in feature section. Which problem is with the commentary section formatting.

For some record, the comments are just 1 liner, but for einigen its enjoy a 3 to 4 liner paragraph.

Solution that i am looking is to have a comment box that expand and pull based on its content sizing.

every ideas?

Check Can Grow on the field that you want to have grow.  Then create a new section of the sam time as of section the data is in (e.g., a modern detail section if that's where you're displays your data.)  Put all of the special ensure appear below that single that will grow into which new section.  Size the antiquated section so that it stop at the bottom of the text box that might expand. I am using vb 6 and crystal report 8.5. I have a field said Instruction whose data type nvarchar. Previously iodin was redeeming plain text product in Instruction field. But now me am saving txtRTF data in

Here become automatically grow the text box real stir the objects below it downhill if necessary.
