Guru's:

I have a difficult problem that I cannot seem to find the correct terminology for. Hopefully you can help.

I am creating a report that draws from two seperate fields from a SQL database. Both of these fields are simple text. Here are the fields and the layout in the DETAILS section:

Details Section:

[PROBLEM] <-- Text Object
[problem] <-- Database field

[RESOLUTION] <-- Text Object
[resolution] <-- Database field

The results I receive work just fine, however, if the [problem] field is lengthy or if the [resolution] field is lengthy, they overright (on top of, making the text look garbled) the text object below it.

Is there any way to force the database fields to recognize the following text object? I've set &quot;Keep Together&quot;, &quot;Can Grow&quot; - both on and off...nothing seems to work! Please help!!!
 
Right click the Details section in the grey area, and select Insert Section Below until you have 4 details sections. Place the text fields in sections 1 and 3, the {Problem} field in 2, and the {Resolution} field in 4.

If the Can Grow option is enabled on the fields in 2 and 4, the independent sections will not start until the field has finished growing.
