ï Karen   I beleive it should work fine to place several items in the region if the their number of lines needed is static.   David Blocker [EMAIL PROTECTED] 781-784-1919 Fax: 781-784-1860 Cell: 339-206-0261 ----- Original Message ----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: RBG7-L Mailing List Sent: Monday, August 09, 2004 9:40 AM Subject: [RBG7-L] - Re: Basic report questions Hello Claudine!  I would love for you to email me privately, but I have a feeling that others here could use your wisdom on this.  When you have a moment, could you put together a nice definition of the steps involved?  Like how you locate the DBMemo, then how do you set up all the fields that follow that DBMemo?  One question that comes to my mind:  is a region set up to hold everything on one "line"?  IOW, if below the memo you have 3 DBTexts on the next row, does the region hold those 3 DBTexts?  Then if you have another row under that, does the region hold fields on that row?  Or can the region encompass several rows if the text will be static? I just went back to my help document about locating regions in reports (the one where I put my own note at the top saying "I read this twice and I still don't understand regions").  And I still don't understand regions. Karen   David is right.  Also, fields must be created/placed on each region (not lassoed and moved unto a region) so that they fit perfectly within the region.  I have a complex report which prints beautifully but it gave me fits to setup.  I can put together a sample and e-mail to you privately.  Just let me knowâ ~Claudine ?
