    "Can Grow" Problems

    I am working on a personal profile, so there are different sections grouping information. The problem I am having is with the "can grow" option with individual fields and with subreports: When it grows it overwrites the information below it. If I leave space for "growth" then I have too much open space and I would really like to have a push button report without having to adjust it based on each constituents information content. How does anyone else deal with this problem? Is there some way to get the information below to drop down? Any tricks to designing around this problem? I would really appreciate any and all input!

    Can Grow problems

    I had the same issue with a directory I created--I had a field that needed to go below the address, but I never quite knew how long the address field would grow. The solution I found was to create a text box in the problem area. Then you can drag and drop database fields or formulas in the text box, putting the one that needs to grow on top and the other below. This way, the top item in the text box can grow, and the bottom field should only show up right after the "growing" field. Hope this helps.
