Thanks, Sergey. The "band dialog" where you can set the band height and what functions (if any) to run on band entry and exit also lets you turn off the default behavior of Constant Band Height. I don't make use of these features too much, so I didn't think about that dialog, however that was what caused it. Once I turned off Constant Band Height, the field stretched just fine. You'd almost think that using Stretch With Overflow would automatically turn off Constant Band Height for the band, but I guess not. Thanks again for your reply.
