How do I synchronize heights of text boxes in a report detail sect

V

Valerie

I have a rox of textboxes in the detail section of a report, all with the
'Can Grow' property set to Yes as well as the 'Can Grow' property of the
deatil section. I want to make all boxes become the same height if any of
them grows to accommodate longer values. Thank you in advance for any
assistance you can provide.

Could you replace the row of textboxes with a single, calculated textbox that
concatenates the information from the fields you need?

work with space
Usa a font like courier new that work with same space for each letter.
If in your control of qty (for example) the line accept 5 characters e
description that can grow accept 20 character
calculate the space you need and add to qty control.

Example

This is the description than you can put in a control
this string is len 54 character in a control of 20 char.

the control qty has a source =
space(int(len(FieldDescription)/20)-Len(qty)+1 & qty
This istruction written quickly (so verify it) pull you qty at the end of
the control

N.B: It's important the font
