i have a Library directory of sorts..
it has two fields, title, and Description that are of variable length (cant' seem to get a average to work)
so.. i was wondering.. when it gets to my report.

Is there a way to have a field display according to the data in it?
ie. if the title is very long, can the field accomidate(2 or 3 or 4 lines in the display accordingly? or must it be fixed per REPORT, as appose to Record
 
There are CanShrink/CanGrow properties for Controls on Reports that allow them to handle text of different lengths. Make sure they are set to yes. This property causes the textboxes to grow and shrink in Height but not in width.
