I am doin pretty fair today (thanks !) feel like I need to say 'long time listner, first time posting'...
The 'notes' field is expanding the way it should, it is the other fields on the line that do not expand.
Is there a way to have the entire line grow in proportion to the one field that needs to expand ?
I have tried 'Can Grow: Yes' on the other fields, but that does not seem to work.
Thanks again

I've come up with another way to ask my question...
Is there a way to reference another Field's property in the field property of another field.
For Instance, I would like Field194 to have the same dimensions of Field294 where Field294 Can Grow=Yes.

I found this posted on anther board...
Don't use borders. Instead, draw the boxes using the Line
method in the Print event. For example, add a line of
code for each text box:
Me.Line (text1.Left,0) - Step(text1.Width,Me.Height),,B
Which tells me there is a way to do it, just not one I've heard of or know how to do...anyone have familiarity with this particular bit of code (and has the time/patience to explain how its used to a novice with code ?)
Thanks again,
Mr Snid
