Dear Fox maniacs

I have a report, being a bus timetable, part of the layout of the detail band as below:

___________________________________________________________________
| Zone_Stop______________  |Time1_ | Time2_ | Time3_ | ...etc.
|__________________________|_______|________|________|_____________
| Zone_Stop______________  |Time1_ | Time2_ | Time3_ | ...etc.
|__________________________|_______|________|________|_____________
.
.
.
etc.

The above horz. and the vert. lines represent those lines on the rpt (boxing in the stop names and times).
The Zone_Stop field may be bigger than the space allotted it. Its format is "stretch with overflow" and "fix rel. to top of band".
The TimeX fields are static 4-char fields - "Fix rel. to top of band" - no stretch
All the vert. lines are, accordingly, "stretch rel to height of band", "fix rel. to top of band"
The horz. line below each Stop- times row is "fix rel. to bottom of band" (although I have tried it with "float")

Problem is the Zone_Stop field won't stretch to another line and so truncates, so we get text like:

"Ipswich: Old farm Rd, opp." instead of "Ipswich: Old farm Rd, opp. Black Lion Pub" for example, which is not very helpful. I have assured, in debug, that the print table field is indeed getting filled with the full stop sdescription and is big enough to hold it (60 chars).

Any ideas?
