Multiple Line on a report field

Hi guyz,

Have tried that but doesn't work.
Do i have to increase the height of the field or can navision increase the size as per the size of each record in that field? same way crystal does!!

Increase the width & height of that field in the report & then see the effect.

Not possible for textboxcontrols btw...

Guess i'll just have to increase the height and width of the field but that affects the spacing between the entries in the report since some do not require multiple Lines.

:-k :-k

I reached the same problem and I copied the text into temporary table (as many records as I needed) and then I printed temptables records as simple line section.

You cannot do it dynamically. You can create two sections - one with one-line edit box and second with two-lines edit box and show just the one section which you assume will be enough. Problem is, that you never know if you need one line or two lines for your text, because each character has different width and you cannot calculate the width of the text without using external component. Search the forums for more info about "text width"...
