Report Designer Auto Grow Query

Post by ineedsomehelp » 20 Oct 2015, 13:20

Hi, I'm having an issue with an invoice template where the product description is too long for the space available. I would like it to continue on to a second line and have marked the wrap function and auto grow to 'true' but it doesn't seem to make a difference.

Anyone have any ideas?

I tried it and it works fine for me.

Can you attach you layout to a post so I can have a look at it.

Hi, thanks for your help!

It is the first clear line where it states Quantity, Stock, Description.....when the description is printed it won't continue on to a second line below but cuts off.

Can you attach the .layout file?

I cannot see the properties of the fields in a screen shot.

I think you may be editing the wrong line, the Item_Number Footer line (half cut off in the screen shot) is the part of the layout that prints for a "product" item.
