Hi Sergey (How come there's never any yawns in your early answewrs? <bg>)
None of the Time fields should move - they should just keep to the top of the band, even if the stop name overflows to another line. So nothing should move
because of this
>If you're using stretchable fields than all fields position in the detail band, that could move because of that, should be 'Float'.

>>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.
>>|__________________________|_______|________|________|_____________

>>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).
