Default "Can Grow" Field Issue

I searched for an answer to this problem but have
come up empty handed so far.

I have a tabular report wich features X amount of
fields, one field (Field 1) will often times need to
grow, as it contains a significant amount of data. My
problem is that I would like to maintain a clean report
and have all of my field outlines have the same height.
As of right now Field 1 grows as it is supposed to, but I
cannot find a way to make the other fields match the
vertical size of Field 1. Any help would be greatly
appreciated

The borders of other controls do not grow when another
control grows. You can not even use code to adjust the
height of controls to match the tallest control.

The best way I know of to deal with this situation is to use
the report's Line method to draw the vertical lines in the
detail section's Print event (the horizontal lines can be
Line controls placed at design time. If you want a ready
made solution that takes care of all the tricky issues,
download Stephen Lebans PrintLines at www.lebans.com

Sorry for what may be a dumb question,,, but I had
actualy already downloaded the PrintLines database from
lebans, and I'm not 100% sure how to incorporate it into
my database. I have never used Visual Basic before so
thats the majority of the problem,, but am I supposed to
modify the code to include my own project specific field
names, report names, etc,, Once again sorry for the dumb
question
