Thus far I have the information set to look like a table. I set the borders to hairline, black. I have 6 rows with 3 columns. One of my columns, we'll call it [Column 1], is setup to grow and on occasion it will grow. The other 2, [Column 2] and [Column 3], are set up to grow, however, they will never need to grow based on their information. Now they will need to grow based on the information in [Column 1] in order to keep the table look. As it stands right now, When [Column 1] grows the other 2 columns stay their regular size and the report looks as if it has a limp.

Is this possible?
 
so what i think you are saying is that one field grows, but your vertical lines look like crap? try this, i found it recently and it works like a charm. take out all borders on your text boxes, and any lines (vertical or horizontal). then paste DallasAggie's code into your report detail's OnPrint event:

Thanks for the info, I'll try it later today and let you know what happens.
 
Sorry, I haven't had a chance to even blink at the Dbase yet. I'll let you know if it helps.
 
Just added this piece and it is amazing. Works like a charm..Thanks
