Conditional Format - Report set up with Columns

[alison.justice]

I am using Access 2003. I have set up a conditional format to bold a field
on a report if a certain criteria is met. It works perfect except if there is
more than three lines of text, it will not expand (grow) it will only shows
two lines and the third line is blank.

I have the report set up where it prints in two columns. It will work if I
just set it to change the color, but it will not work if it is set to bold.
Seems like if the item is in the left column it will only grow to two lines
and then leaves the third line blank. if it is in the right hand column it
only shows one line and leaves the second line blank.

Not sure why this is happening.

Does anyone know why this happens or can help me correct this?

Did you try making the control's Height property taller?
Did you set the control's CanGrow property to Yes?
Did you also set the Detail section's CanGrow property to Yes?
Did you try deleting this control, compacting the database and then
re-adding the field to the report?

Thanks so much for responding, I did try the set property to can grow on both
the field and the detail section as well. I did try adjusting the control
height, that didn't work either.

Without seeing the report I have nothing further to suggest. Sorry.
