Hi,
I have a report, viewable in continuous form. I don't want the size of
the report to change (it should fit address labels on the printer), but
in order to minimise the space between empty fields I shrink the text
boxes, bunch them together and set cangrow to on.
E.g. instead of this:
Some name
Some address
some city
I get this:
Some name
Some address
Some city
But when I set the text fields to grow, it makes my report grow so it
won't fit the spec for the address labels.
Anyone help me here?
Cheers,
Chris 3 2533

Report to print on an address labels should be created via Access
Report Wizard so that it fits exactly into labels layout you have.
Then, after you have a label size report in design view, draw a text
box of a size desired to contain an address. Control source of the box
will be:
=Trim([ADDRESS_LINE_1] + Chr(13) & Chr(10) + [ADDRESS_LINE_2] +
Chr(13) & Chr(10) + [ADDRESS_LINE_3] + Chr(13) & Chr(10) + ...)
Chr(13) & Chr(10) will cut your address into lines. Usage of sign "+"
will ensure that if a line of address is null, there will be no line.
You have no chance to make a report suitable to print on labels by the
way you described.
Regards.

First make the fields not grow. Then put conditions in some of the
controls - for example.
Name
address1
=iif(isnull(add ress2),city,add ress2)
=iif(isnull(add ress2),"",city)
Hope that makes sense

Use the Wizard to create your label, nut make sure that the controls go not
overlap. Blank lines will not be printed.
Try a grid size of 4 * 4 or 5* 5 if there are too many lines for your
lable. Theb do Edit->SelectAll and then Format->SizeToGrid

Hi All,
I'm using Stephan Lebans' nifty code for automatically resizing text
fields to the size required to show (almost) all text in that field
(CanGrow3, thanks Stephen!).
In general this function works great. However, I sometimes have a
problem with the last text line. Often the last line is just below the
end of the field and to view that line I have to scroll to it. Is that
a known problem? And is there a solution?

I am generating a report that adds one of two images (or no image at

any help appreciated.

All textboxes across the record are set to CanGrow, in the details section of a continuous subform of a report, yet different fields grow to varying heights and messy borders.
Is it possible to configure all textboxes to follow the same height of their tallest peer in the same record?

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
