Text box alignment problem

[TJones8]

Hi - I have a report which pulls an item description and it's cost from a table. At the moment, the tops of the two text fields are on the same level.
Since the item description can be multi-lined, it sometimes looks odd.
Is there a way to force the bottom of the single-line text box to align itself with the bottom of a 'CanGrow' text field??

TIA

I have tried setting the text box control's 'Top' property in the Detail_Print event of the report with this bit of code

txtQuantity.Properties!Top = txtItemDesc.Properties!Top + (txtItemDesc.Properties!Height - txtQuantity.Properties!Height)

but i get a run-time error 2101 'The setting you entered isn't valid for this property.'

I'm not sure what i'm doing wrong here -other than when the controls come to be printed\print previwed, the controls properties are set to read-only.

I will try the same code in Detail_Format event, but i don't think the txtItemDesc grows to it's multi-lined content before format. if at first you don't succeed, get a 10lb lump hammer
