Growing fields - Superpose

[AntiLiteratos]

Hi...

I'm from Argentina, so I'll try to make you understand my question.

I'm a newbie in Crystal Reports. I created a report, with different fields. Some of these fields grow in lines, according to the extension of the database field.

I've seted up that when the field grows in lines, it expand automatically. But, it SUPERPOSE to the other fields. Can you understand my problem? I need that, when a fields grows, the other fields below it, move more down. How can I solve it?

Thanks.

Guillermo.

First, which version of Crystal? You'll find that as 'Product Version' from [About Crystal Reports] on the Help menu.

In Crystal 8.5, a field will be truncated (cut short) unless you choose the 'Can Grow' option. If I've understood you rightly, you've already done this, and are finding the fields overlap or superimpose on fields below them in the same section.

The standard answer is to have several sections with the same function. Thus instead of one detail line, you right-click and select [Insert Section Below]. This gives you a new section, Detailb, with the old one re-labelled as Detaila.
If a field in Detaila grows to two or more lines, it increases the size of Detaila. But it will not overlap Detailb, this is the point of having another section.

Does this solve it?
