Fields overlapping (strange...)

Hi...

I have set up a report with 4 fields that come through from the query. I have them as a list on the report. However, if some of the names are a bit too long they go down onto a second line. Now usually if this is the case, the field below just shifts down a bit so that they don't overlap, and this was working fine on a report I'm doing until I changed the font size, now nothing shifts down except the actual fields label, but the field itself stays overlapped with the one above it.

I've tried fiddling with cangrow and canshrink properties with no joy, and I'm gonna start setting fire to stuff if I can't fix it!!! AARRRRGGGGHHHHHH

Many thanks in advance,

Dave


 
Make sure you controls don't overlap. After changing the font size, did you adjust the height of the text boxes and adjust the Top property of controls below the adjusted text boxes?
