Have two memo/text fields in report. They are stacked vertically and each has the Can Grow option checked. The first vertical field is growing vertically when it prints if needed. However it is overlaying the second memo/text field which seems to printing in a fixed position rather than printing after the memo field above it has completed.
Make sense ?

For example: where Text fld 1 has value "A" and text field 2 has value "B"

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Insert a second detail section (detail_b) and place the second memo field in that section. Format the section to "suppress blank section" in case of nulls in that memo field.

What LB means is that you right click the details and select insert section below.

Place one memo per detail section, and then do the suppress blank section for each detail section.
