Keep field and label together?!

[marcarls]

Hi,

My problem is that my labels does not keep togheter with the datafield, when the datafield spans over several rows. The label of the data field below the expanded data does not keep together with the text.
I have tried the anchoring but I always get the error message REP-1814: Report cannot be formatted. Object 'verticalyy can never fit within 'B3'...
Is there any other way to solve the problem or am I using the achoring function in a wrong way?

Thank you,

Regards Maria

Place them both into 1 expanding frame. Regards, Dima

I have the similar problem but my problem is - I want the spaces between labels and data field consistent. E.g.

Name: ABC Company
Place: USA
Number of Hours: 8

But on my reports, it shows:

Name: ABC Company
Place: USA
Number of Hours:8

The font that I used is Times New Roman. The printer is Lexmark Optra S 1650. Oracle Report 6i and Windows 2000.

Solution for all of these kinds of problems is using a frame around the objects. These kinds of problems I have done several times, quite comment in Oracle reports development. The best is not to use anchor.

When you place frame around the objects you need to be care full. If your report is having multiple frames/repeating frames. You need to use F5,F6,F7,F8 to move front/back. This is little bit strange initially. But if you have experienced, it is fun.

If you still can’t find the solution contact me.
Enjoy.
