Hi,

I have 2 fields that can both Grow, Printed under each other.
The problem is when the 1st field is to big, it overlaps the second one.
The purpose is that there are printed one after another without any extra space in between.
I use C.R. 8.0.1.0

Thanks for helping me!!

 
Check if the option something like "Underly following section" is on, if so turn it off
 
LikePork is assuming that you have the two fields in separate bands (sections). I'm assuming that you have them in the same band.

Insert a section below the field that "can grow". Put the bottom field into this new section.

I've turned it off but that gives the same case.
I must tell you this extra; both fields are in the same Section --> Details
 
If it's in the same section, it will do that.

Create another section and move the send field to it

Current

D1 - {table.field1}
{table.field2}

Suggest

D1 - {table.field1}
D2 - {table.field2}

 
I did that before --> using Details 'a' and Details 'b', but then the second field (Details 'b') overlaps the first field (Detail 'a')??
 
Then in the report designer tab, right click on the d1-> format section and uncheck "underlay following section".

That's the only thing I can think of that would cause that problem
