Hi,

I have a VFP 9 report. One of the columns is email address. The width of the column is not enough for some, very long, email addressed.
The column is set, in the VFP 9 Report designer as [x] Stretch with overflow. The format is Character and [x] Overlay and [x] Left are checked.
What happens is that if the email address is longer than the column width allows, the first/top line is blank. Then the email address appears, on two line (as it should be). Here is an example:
(Note that the email is not aligned properly here, in UT. I just do not know how to align it correctly. In real report the email appears under the heading EMAIL ADDRESS)
EMPLOYEE                   EMPLOYEE NAME                        EMAIL ADDRESS
123ABC                        John Smith                                  
                                                                              john_smith@longcompa
                                                                              ny.com
What do I need to change for this column (Email Address) in the designer?

TIA

Update: I just noticed that some records with a long email address do appear correctly. That is, they do not have a blank on the first line. Rather the email address is horizontally aligned with the EMPLOYEE.
But some other records do look "messed up"
