How do you resize a box control?

[NCYankee1]

I have a report in Access 97 where a column needs to be in gray. So I put a gray box behind that column. Problem is, the other columns, which are text boxes (no color) can grow. This causes white spaces in the gray column. How do I resize the gray box to fill the entire detail area?
You can see what I am talking about by navigating to this address. I show what the report looks like and how I want it to look:

Thanks for your help!

Not so easy in Ms. A It is easy enough to set the Height of a control, the issue is that there does not appear to be anyway to read the actual height of a control at run-time. All you can get is the DESIGN value. So, when Grow / Shrink occurs you cannot know it. If you find a way to read the dynamic size (Height) of the control, PLEASE let the rest of the world know how,
