Crystal Reports problem with "can grow"

I am using CR XI release 2. I have an OLE object which displays an image using the graphic location feature. The images displayed vary greatly in size so I check the "can grow" box but sometimes the image overruns the text below. I would like to set the "maximum number of lines" but it is grayed out and set at 0. I can't seem to change the max number of lines to stop the image from overrunning the text below. Any suggestions?
Thanks

If this is in the detail section, create an additional detail section (Right-click Details and choose Insert Section Below) and then move all the stuff that falls below the graphic into the new section.

(Same principle applies to any section)

Agree.

Thank you both for getting back so quick. I created detail section B and moved everything below the image into this new section. Section A only has the image and it's set to "can grow". Now the image is grows larger than the section which holds it and section B prints on the next page...ugh.

Another question...how come on my image display format I can't set the "max number of lines" because it is grayed out?

Mike McCracken

Because an image doesn't have "lines" as such. That is for text values.
