    Reports- Auto Expanding Fields

    I made a form that requires an explaination and then an author below it. The explaination can be one sentence or a whole paragraph. Is there a way to set the explaination field on the form to auto expand the field size down to fit all of the text on the form?
    If so, can I set the author field to lower as needed so its always below the explaination? - As the explaination box adds lines to autofit the text, it moves the author cell down as well.



    Thanks

    A quick fix would be to add a vertical scroll bar, so that if the user adds more text than what fits in the display, they can continue to add, and view the text by scrolling up or down. You can add scroll bars in the properties menue (format/scroll bars) .

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