You should need to leave enough space to the right for the growth.
If you use a DBMemo the "Stretch" option would allow it to grow in height to accomodate the value.

I wonder how you all handle reporting of numeric values (Real, Double, Currency, Numeric) in windows version of R:Base! I old DOS style, If I had a value that was bigger than fitted the field I got nicely ********** as resultat telling me I had a value to was bigger than could represented in the allocated space. I windows version If I have a value of say $10,563,952.53 that on a report comes out as 563,952.53 since I did not allocate space enough, has any body figured out how I can get a warning/error/format/?? so I will be aware that something is wrong. The only thing I have come up with is to allocate more then enough space. But sometimes that solution takes up to much space that could be better used for other purposes. I guess what I am asking for is right clicking a report field beside the existing "Display format, Null Format" I would like to see "Overflow format". In a way I can use autosize, but that leaves me out of the control of the format and space allocated. Or has anyone already solved this in nice and smart way?
