Buddy, a belated thanks to you and to Larry. It took Larry's answer before I could see that yours was spot-on. I was running down a path of 2 parallel/same-level regions, one with the stretchable and, finally, as you advised, one below. But this didn't quite get it. After a while and a great deal of frustration, I finally realized that I'd been brain-dead, as there was absolutely no need for 2 parallel regions and certainly no way to make them work the way I needed.
So, I made one "above" region, with all those same-level fields, including the stretchable, and one below, with all the column labels. Worked like a champ. As I arrived at this solution, I realized that this was PRECISELY what you'd advised me to do from the get-go! It took me a while to realized that I could perceive/utilize a region like a virtual report-band-within-a-report-band. Once I grasped this notion, I placed appropriate value what you'd shared and chuckled at my lunatic-self for having foolishly wasted so much time.

In the region with the column names make sure you click on ShiftRelativeTo and then select the region that that has the variable memo. Also click stretch on both regions.

I have some data from an Oracle db with a LONG VARCHAR field. I've placed a Variable Memo control on the report in the break header where I want it located, STRETCH=TRUE. However, when the data exceeds the size of the field/control on the report, it stretches, but right into the column-header labels below it. What I really want is that any controls positioned lower than this field shift with the field. Any tips? Thanks, Steve in Memphis J.
