>I have a report that uses a couple of memo fields. If the memo field is larger than three lines(dictated by carrage return) I loose all objects below this field. I either need a way to make the report field size dynamicly or strip all carrage returs out of the memo field before it gets to the report writer.

Steven,
Strech and float checking would take care of long memos. If you mean multiple CR within the memo + trailing CRs are a problem :

lcMemo = chrtran(myMemo,chr(13)+chr(10),chr(10)) && CRLF to LF
do while occurs(chr(10)+chr(10),lcMemo)>0 && While multipl LF exists
  lcMemo = strtran(lcMemo,chr(10)+chr(10),chr(10)) && Half the LFs
enddo
lcMemo = left(lcMemo,len(lcMemo)-iif(right(lcMemo,1)=chr(10),1,0))

This would reduce multiple consequtive CRLF to one. You could have this code slightly modified in either lostfocus of editbox (so would do it as editing done) or as a UDF just to call from a report (not a problem IMHO since in reports real botleneck is printer which is slower than fox code). And since code uses halving system which means with say 1024 CRs loop would take 10 passes I don't think you'd need faster routines like C FLLs.
