Can a Shape dynamically resize itself ?

rbuser

I am putting together a quotation report and in the SubReport i have put
fields i require for each individual part of the quote. The fields include
PartNo/ListPrice/NetPrice/Description etc.
I have put these fields in ppDBText boxes and i have the Description field
in a ppDBMemo box.
These all go inside a Shape which is set to Rectangle so each quote item can
be in its own yellow bar.
As i don't know how long a description could be, i have set the height so
that about 3 lines can be included in the description.
I would like to know how i can setup the report so that the Description
DBMemobox will adjust its own height (not width) automatically to fit what
ever text is put in it.
This way i will not be wasting any space on the report, because at the
moment i am using 3 lines up even if the description is very short like
'Nails'.

Hope you can help
John

Use a region. Place the memo (set Stretch to true) inside of a region. The
region will stretch to fit the memo text. Set the memo to transparent =
true, and set the region's color.
