Line break in reports

How do I create a line break on the detail section so that the next info
appears with two or three spaces from the first?

Assuming you're talking about multiple lines within the same detail layout,
I suggest that you place an extra unbound textbox control on the report that
has the height of the space you wish to sometimes have Leave the data
content of this empty, and define it with CanShrink=Yes. Also set the
Detail section to CanShrink=Yes.

If you do nothing else, the space used by the control will appear. In your
VBA, set the control to CanShrink=False (which will make it "No") and then
the space used by the control will appear.

You'll need to set this true/false for each detail record.

Your pageheader is tight against the bottom of your controls in the Detail
section. Slowly move your cursor down across the top border of the
PageHeader. A "Handle" will appear. Drag the top border down a desired
amount so that it is not tpuching the bottom of your controls in the Detail
section.

Thank you Bob. I used an unbound text box, like you suggested, and the report
is EXCELLENT.

THANKS.
