Textbox with Grow = YES overlaying controls below.

[mscertified]

I have a report with a heading section with a textbox that has Grow set to
YES since it is a list of varying length. Below this I have a line and below
this a row of column headings. Underneath this is the detail section.
When the textbox grows to a certain size, it causes the line and the
headings below to be overwritten. I thought they should be 'pushed down' and
still appear. How can I allow for the varying size of the textbox and still
get my line and headings underneath?

A "Heading Section"?
The Page header?
The Page Header (and the Page Footer) do not have a Can Grow
capability.
See if you can place your controls in a Group Header (even if you have
to create a fictitious one. Set the Sorting and Grouping to =1, Group
Header = Yes). Set the Group Header to Repeat Section = Yes and it
should appear on each page. The Group Header Can Grow, so set it's
CanGrow property to Yes.

That happens when the Top of the line and headings is above
the bottom of the can grow text box, even by a very tiny
amount.

You can also get something like what you describe if the
text box section's CanGrow is not set to Yes.
