Hello Forum Members,
In a report, I need to show the data in table (exactly a table). I tried using building boxes and drawing lines and placed the data fields inside the cells of the table but these objects (box and lines) are static in nature ( I guess). Database field can grow but boxes and lines cannot grow based on the size of the data because of this the format of the report does not look good. Is there any way to achieve this ?

Thanks in Advance!!!!!
 
rather than drawing boxes use the border feature in the format field dialog box. That way the lines will grow and shrink with your data.

Howard-
Thanks a lot for your reply. I am sorry for my late reply. I did tried that option. In most of the cases, the data is laid horizontal. One of the field goes into next line but the other field does not go to the next line because of this the lines get distorted and it does not work.
