hello,
Is there a way to get a cell on a crystal report to autoformat to mulitrow if the width of the cell is not wide enough for the data that is input into it?

Thank you,

Zac

Hello,

here is what I need it to do.

I have multiple cols on one row and one row has various amount of characters in the string that is posted to it. (its a description field) Sometimes it will be

"n/a"

 and other times it could be

 "The item has to be altered as per shop drawing submitted. Engineer code can be retrieved from XXXX engineering firm - Reg. Code xxxxxxxx-xxxx. Please respond when drawing is official."

In the later case I need the cell to format so its all readable and then start the next row after that one

Like this,

-----------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|-------------
   Row 1  |                            Mulitrow  Description                                                     |
-----------|                                                                                                               |-------------
  [white   |                                                                                                               |
   space] |                                                                                                               |
              |-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
-----------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
  Row 2   |                            Single Row Description                                                  |
-----------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
-----------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Row 3  |                            Mulitrow  Description                                                     |
-----------|                                                                                                               |
  [white   |                                                                                                               |
  space]  |                                                                                                               |
              |-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
