    Can Grow Issue

    I have a form that utilizes "Can Grow=Yes" for several textboxes & a subform. When a particular textbox grows, the labels & subform below don't dynamically move to accomodate the larger textbox above. Is there a way to fix this?

    I have resolved the issue. My form borders were set to Thin. Once I made them Sizable everything works great! Thanks!

    Actually, I have never been able to get CanGrow/CanShrink to work on forms, only reports. How did you accomplish with form?

    I created several textboxes with Can Grow = Yes. I made sure each textbox extended across the entire length of the form. In form view, the textbox will not grow, but when it is printed, all data is shown.

    The CanGrow/CanShrink Property only works with Forms if you're printing them which, as we know, is usually a very bad idea! Forms are for viewing and Reports are for printing!

    As long as the labels below do not touch / overlap the textboxes that are growing above, they will dynamically shift.

Please reply to this thread with any new information or opinions.
