Title:
Can't get rectangles to float.
I have a report in which I have text enclosed in a boxes. The boxes change their size depending on the text in the box (using the "print when" feature). The box property is set to float. I have several of these boxes below one another on a page. What I want to have happen is if, for example, the box on top only has one line of text instead of two (and is therefore a smaller box), I want the box below it to move up on the page so the spacing between the two boxes is the same as the spacing would be if the box on top were expanded to accomodate two lines of text. I have tried a variety of combinations involving the stretch, group, and print-when properties, and have not found the right combination. I should also mention that these text fields/boxes do no extend the entire width of the page and there are other items to the right of these items. Is it possible to do what I'm trying to do or it this simply not a capability of VFP5.0?
TIA
