Multiple Can Grow
John Valencic

When I set the property on the text box named “Item Description” to “Can Grow”, the text box grows, but the other text boxes in the same row remain the same height and make the form look very unprofessional. Is there some way to make the other four text boxes to grow at the same rate as “Item Description”? The columns are as follows:
Purchase date, Item Description, Quantity, Price, Extende Price

Richard has a video that should help you solve the issue. https://599cd.com/blog/display-article.asp?ID=3153

Thanks for your reply Joe, but that's not exactly what I was looking for. I think I'm getting closer though.

In design view I created a separate unbound Text box the same size as the Purchase date, Item Description, Quantity, Price, Extended Price combined, and set the property to "Can Grow" and set the border to "Transparent", Then I took the Purchase date, Item Description, Quantity, Price, Extended Price text boxes and also set them to "Can Grow" and made their borders "Transparent". Next I placed the new text box over top of the Purchase date, Item Description, Quantity, Price, Extended Price text boxes and "Sent it to Back". Then I placed a "Horizontal line" over the top of the text boxes in the "Detail section", and a "Horizontal line" above the "Tax" and "Total" (also making their borders "Transparent")  in the "Report footer", scrunched it all together and VOILA it worked (with the exception of the "Vertical lines" not being able to "Grow"), but I can live with this. See screenshot

It looks nice. It always feels good to find a solution that works for you.
