I am having some difficulty formatting reports where one column may require
more than one line to accommodate the text. If anyone can give me some
assistance with how to set up the report so that the text wraps when more

which are used to enclose the text, that would be much appreciated.
John,
On your converted 7.1 report, use the "DB Memo" or
"Variable Memo" control to achieve the same goal.
Here's how:
01. Depending on your current control placed on
"Detail Band", delete the "DB Label" or "Variable
Control".
02. Place the "DB Memo" or "Variable Control" on the
same band and associate it with corresponding
column or variable.
03. Adjust the Font size, color, etc.
04. Adjust the "width" accordingly and increase the
"height" enough to at least display one line on
that band.
05. Right-click and check "Stretch" property for true.
06. Use [Report Preview] tab to preview the report
while still in Report Designer.
07. Save the report.
That's all there is to it!
For samples and examples, take a look at the "Contact"
report in ConComp database.
Database: ConComp
Report: Contact
Command File: Reports02_ContactsByCustomer.RMD
Enjoy and make sure to have fun!
Very Best R:egards,
