Text Field auto fit in Reports

[Carol Shu]

i am trying to print a report "sales report", it has customer first names,
last names, address..., some customer has short names, some has long names,
could i set a code for these text fields automatic fit, so i won't have to
adjust the field lengh all the time, thank you.

I know what you're saying, the problem is, some Mexican customer has very
long name and they also like to put husband and wife plus sister's name on
the same form, it really a problem for me, i guess i could just make it long
enough like you said, thank you.

The question is what are you going to do with a smaller text
box? If you try to put something else in the saved space,
then what do you do when the name needs that space?

My only other thought is to make the text box smaller and
set its (and its section's) CanGrow property to Yes. This
at least allows the text box to become tall enough to
contain the entire name.
