Hi,

I have a text field being fed from SQL Server which sits directly above a label field. When there is a signifigant amount of data in the text field, some of the data will be covered by the label field because the label field does not move with the text field. I set the can grow property of the text field to true thinking that it would automatically push the label field to start once the text field was full. This is not the case. Is there a way to prgrammatically tell the label when to start based on the value/size of the text field?

Thanks,

Brian
 
Split the section, with the label in one and the text in the other. The section will grow to accommodate the text size and 'push' the label down.
 
Thank you! I have been struggling with that for like a week. I looked in crystal's help and found the following steps for splitting a section in case there are others who did not know how do it like myself:

1. Move the pointer over the left boundary of the section you want to split.
2. When the pointer becomes a Section Splitting cursor, click the boundary.
3. When a horizontal line appears, drag it up or down to split the section the way you want it.
