>Is your memo field in a group footer? If so, I don't think you can get it to work. I think it needs to be in the detail line to stretch. Also, if you have page numbers in your page footer, when the memo field stretches to the next page, the page number will not advance (you get two 'Page 2's for example). The only way I have found to overcome this has been to split the larger memo fields into two separate records. Here's my code for just such a situation. You set your memowidth the the maximum number of characters that fit across your page width. (If you are using a proportional font it's safer to lowball the number but you get some unsightly hard returns.) Then figure out how many lines will fit on a page (in the example, the line length is 114 and the number of lines is 26).

The memo field is in the footer. Do you think it is impossible to then stretch the field and have it print on the next page?
