Can Grow / Shrink

[Blorf]

Hello.

In a report in the detail section, I have controls going across, all with boarders set to solid, with width set to 1.

One box has test, that sometimes does not fit, so I set it to Can Grow Yes. This works, but because of the borders, you can tell the other controls stayed the same size, and it looks kind of ugly.

Is there a way to make the other controls grow also?

Thanks,

I use the Line method of the report to draw all the outlines. Stephen Lebans has code at his site

(look for PrintLines). There is similar functionality in the Calendar report at

Thank you. The solution works extremely well.

I notice that if there is any conditional formatting, it fails to draw the lines though. I can get around that of course using vba instead of conditional formatting.

Any way, thank you very much.
