We are creating a report in Report Designer where one description field needs to be set to Can Grow. The user would like the detail section to be maintained at a minimum height, but would like the Detail Section to grow when the description field grows in height. Currently, the Detail Section height remains constant and when the Description field grows in height, it is cut off at the bottom. Is there an easy way to cause the Description section height to grow when the field grows?

Hi
Normally the report sections grow automatically to accommodate the fields that are placed in the section. I’m not aware of a CanGrow property for the section.
Is the description field inside a Panel control? If yes, then you should set that to CanGrow as well.
If you are still having issues, please post the rpx for your report.
Hope this helps!

Hi
Thanks for the reply. The original layout had the textbox standing alone. I inserted a Panel control and embedded the text box with the description into it, set the text box CanGrow property to True, and that resolved the issue. Of note, I couldn’t find a CanGrow property for the Panel, but that doesn’t seem to matter since the section grows in proportion with the text box anyway.
Thanks for your help!
