Default Report Shrink

Hello,

I am running a report where I have a number of name fields one under
another. Is there a way to autmatically shrink the lines if one of the name
fields is left empty? For exmaple:

Person1
Person2
Person3

Person1



Person1
Person2
Person3

As you can see the spacing is the same whether or not a record has all three
name fields filled out or not.

Thank you in advance,
Sam

Default Report Shrink

Text boxes on reports have both a CanShrink and a CanGrow property. You may
be best off making the control tall enough for one row of data and setting
its CanGrow property rather than the other way around.
