Table Embedded in Report

B

I have a table that is embedded into a report. When I run the report, all
of the descending characters (e.g., "y", "g", "q", etc.) are cutting off. I
have tried changing the row height in the table view, but this does not
translate to the report.

How can I change the row height of this table in the report so that this
will not happen?

Thank you,
Bob

Make the report text boxes taller.

Thank you for your reply.

I tried to increase the row height in the report design view, but this does
increase the row height in the print preview. No matter how tall I make the
row height, it still cuts off my descenders.

I don't understand what it is that you are referring to as
"row height", but I suspect that it is the report detail
section's Height. However, I was talking about the text box
controls (inside the detail section) that are bound to the
table fields.

If you have trouble making them tall enough without being
too tall, just set each text box's CanGrow property to Yes.

I changed the properties to CanGrow in the detail section. I also changed
the height from about .16" to 2"; it forced the report to display my table
(normally containing all lines on one page), as one line per page. But the
descenders were still being cut off.

That is too weird. Is it possible that there is another
control that's covering the bottom of the text boxes?

If there is nothing obvious, try setting every control's
BackStyle to Transparent and BorderStyle to Solid to see if
that helps identify the problem.
