Re: Can Grow Subreport doesn't Move a Rectangle

Chuck,

Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately, the text boxes I need to put a box
around, are on the main report, not the subreport (sorry for the confusion).
The text boxes in question are located below the subreport and get moved as
the subreport changes size.

I have put a new, unbound, text box on the report, and used it to make the
rectangle I need. Although this works, it strikes me as a bad idea; who
knows what kind of unexpected mischief an idle text box can get up to?

Any further ideas would be most welcome.

I have a pretty straightforward report with a subreport in the detail section
set to Can Grow. When it grows it pushes the textboxes (and their labels)
below it, down accordingly. So far, so good.

The problem is that I have a rectangle around those textboxes, which doesn't
get moved. Is there a way to make the rectangle move, as well?

Poking around the boards I found a way to draw the rectangle in at the On
Print event, but that seems so much more complicated. I'm hoping someone out
there can tell me how to get the doggone rectagle to move! :-)

Thanks for all your help,

Kari

Do not drawn a rectangle around the test boxes. Instead, set the Boarder Style
of the sub report to: Solid. Set the Boarder Width to: Hairline. Set the
Boarder color to: 0. That's zero for black, not letter O. The boarder will
grow, shrink, and move as required to keep all the text boxes inside.
