Dynamic field sizes in reports

I am trying to create a report that has 5 simple (small!) fields and two memo
/ text fields on each row. These text fields can either be a few words long
or lots of words long. I would like to produce a report where the next row
starts just after the previous one with no large "white" space between the
rows if there is only a small amount of text in the row and I have formatted
the text field for lots.

Is it possible to dynamically size the text boxes. I am using Access 2000.

Many Thanks

Set the Can Grow and Can Shrink properties of the text boxes, and of the
section (e.g. Detail) that contains them to 'Yes'.

Excellent

Thanks for the quick response - I'd been looking at field / report
properties but miss the significance of these.

Many thanks

I have an access database for keeping contact list and work branche o
various office in Vietnam. There are requirement for the output a
following:
There are a lot of missing information in a contact, sometime peopl
just have email and phone but sometime they do have all contact item.
As the report will have to print out all so it will be a bit wasting o
paper then. I designed a report that will dynamically hide blank fiel
and resize report so the print out will be nicely looked without an
big space.
But when I started to put such type of report into a master report
problem occured - the sub-report printed correctly for the first tw
record and the rest with mistakes even the last record have full numbe
of contact item but it printed only 2 fields.
Just problem has put me on the fire for weeks without solution! I woul
be really obliged if you could help me.
Here is the link:

or you can send me a mail at ngocdd@itprog.gov.vn - and I will send yo
the file for testimonial.
Tks in advance for ur helps.
P/S By opening the file - just click print and you will see it
