>looong time ago I ported a project from fpw to vfp6. In this project lots of text was stitched together using template text parts for individual reports.

>>The above section is in the Group Footer of the report. Now one customer want to have, instead of just 3 lines, 5 or more lines. How can I make this section Height and number of lines data-driven? That is, so that I would have a setting in some file (xml or dbf) and based on the setting the height and number of lines would be increased at run-time. Possible?
