Prevent rptTextBox from shrinking

[Jaroslaw]

Hi all,

I noticed that the text boxes I have put on my DataReport shrink depending on how much data is in them. I have set the BorderStyle property to rptBSSolid and I would like them to stay fixed size. How can I accomplish this?

Thanks,
Jaroslaw

As far as the width, there shouldn't be a problem.
I don't thing you keep this happening with the height though

Thanks for your reply CCLINT but the height is where I have a problem. The DataReport keeps adjusting the textbox borders (top and bottom) depending on how big the font is.
I am trying to create a report which will look like a spreadsheet when printed out (the users here LOVE their excel spreadsheets ). Because of the above problem, there are gaps between each detail line. When looking at the report in design time, there are no gaps at all.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

As I said, I don't think the height can be fixed.
What I would do is use Lines and retangles.
