Dynamically resize DBLable text

rbuser

I need a simple report which shows a few DB fields accross the page.
When a fields data is longer than the size of the DBLabel, how can i make
the text for that field automatically go on to the next line.

Like this

Name Country
Jim Smith England
John Hym USA
Andrian Finland
Holingsgation
Sauan Biff USA

At the moment the name Andrian Holingsgation will overflow into Finland.
And we can't have that can we ;-)
Any ideas how to tackle this one please ?

Thanks
John

Instead of a dbText component, use a dbMemo and set its Stretch property to
True.

Yes, that works, but the text is automatically resized to a lower font.
Can i set it so the font size stays the same ?

The font should stay the same. The fonts may appear different on the
screen, because of the zoomsetting. If you print it out or view it at 100%
it should be the correct font.
