Access Tip -  Create controls that grow with report data

When you print a report, some of the data may be missing because the text box controls aren't large enough to fit all of the data. You can readjust the size of the control, but the Can Grow property automatically adjusts the size.

To take advantage of the Can Grow property, follow these steps:

  1. In Design view, right-click the text control you want to resize, and select Properties.

  2. On the Format tab, click Can Grow, and select Yes from the drop-down list.

When you run the report, the control will automatically expand to accommodate additional lines of data when the data is larger than the control.
