 Posted: Wed Jul 25, 2012 7:08 am Post subject: Variable field length in report printout |
 |
|
I am printing a weekly report from a query in my database. One of the fields in the report is the weekly activities for the customer. It is usually fairly short, however on occasion will be lengthy.
In order for the full content of these longer items to appear in the report, I have to expand that field in size, which results in lots of empty space for those customers with only a short report.
Is it possible to set a property of the field so the field expands/contracts to match the contents of the field in the database?
Thanks for any help.

Hello
I think do not make a report but mailmerge.
Open a new text document
Press F4 and select the database and table you need.
Drag in the field you need by selecting the headers of the fields you. One by one.
Type in text on the place you want have
Let the document print now.
