Larry,

Could you somehow determine when this will happen and add an extra
(CHAR(13)) to the memo for display?

Subject: [RBASE-L] - Stop rectangle on report from shrinking.

Here's a minor cosmetic issue I'm looking for an elegant solution to.

I often place a rectangle around a DB memo field on my reports -- for
instance, today I'm dealing with a "special instructions" field on an
invoice.  I set the DB memo field to "Stretch" and the surrounding rectangle
to "Stretch with Parent".

When the DB memo field grows the rectangle stretches as I expect and the
results look _almost_ perfect.

The problem is that the rectangle is actually a little bigger than the DB
memo field -- about 10 pixels of border on each side.  When the report
section expands and/or shrinks to accommodate the memo field, the rectangle
winds up with the bottom aligned exactly with the bottom of the memo field
-- my white space border is gone.

Does anyone have a solution to this issue?

Larry
