Printing varchar(255) field in a grid
Hi
I have a simple report, with a one line / record detail.
However, the comment field is a varchar(255), and sometimes is too long to
print on the report, so it gets truncated.
I tried using a DBMemo field, but the grid didn't seem to expand properly to
accomodate the text, although I set the memo component to "stretch". It
seemed to write over the grid lines, and then insert a space.
Can you please advise how I can get the full comments printed within the
grid for the odd occasions when they are too long to fit on one line. It is
bit like setting an Excel column to wordwrap - which preserves the grid
alignment.
TIA
Barry
