Report Can Grow Field
Bill Dowler 
      
4 years ago
Hi,
I have a field on a report with the can grow and can shrink properties both set to yes. Works fine until I put a large amount of text in the field to check the can grow property. The field expands vertically, no problem, but it also expands horizontally and forces a second, empty, page because it goes over the page width. How can I prevent this from happening? Is it something to do with line breaks in the long text field?

Make sure the width of your box is not larger than the width of the page plus the margins.
It should not expand to a second page.
Also, you might want to make certain that the can grow can shrink is enabled on the detail section.

Page margins were the culprit. Thanks.......
