Columns Bug in 2003 Reports?

[Bob L.]

Do I not understand something or is there a bug in Access 2003 regarding
the row height setting under the File, Page Setup, Columns tab? I find
it has no effect, i.e. what always matters is the detail height set on
design view rather than the height shown on the columns tab. Checking
the "same as detail" box correctly populates the text box with the
design view size. However, unchecking it and entering another number
has no effect.

I have never figured out what the Column Size - Height
setting does. It sounds like you might want to use the Row
Spacing setting instead.

Thanks. I simply ignore it and set the height using Design view.
(Interestingly, the Knowledge Base indicated it as a known problem for
Access 2000.....guess it takes a while to get it fixed/changed!)
