List Property - can grow/can shrink

I'm trying to generate a report that will simulate Avery Standard form 5388 - a basic 3 x 5 index card.

I'm using a list and a table to generate the output. Basically I have the list sized at exactly 3 x 5. I'm limiting my rows to be returned to 5 rows so that the table does not grow too large, and I'm using the Page Header to handle the top space, and have placed the list/table regions within the body region to handle the left margin.

The problem I'm having is to have the list print exactly 3x5...I would like to make sure that the list ALWAYS maintains this size - no growing or shrinking;however the list does not have this property that I can see.

I'm currently working in RS2000...can it be done in either 2000 or is this something that 2005 can only handle.

I figured it out...I placed a 3x5 rectangle inside the 3x5 list data region. Seems to be working.

List Page OverRun

Hi

Is it possible to set a list control not to grow? I have multiple tables in a list box and text boxes it is grouped by a particular column it possible to say that if it the list has to steach to the next page because to much information is to display just don’t go over to the next page just hide it or don’t display the rest of the records

No, list boxes will always grow to accomodate their contents. If an instance of a list does not fit on one page, it will be pushed to the next page. Textboxes and images are the only control that will contrain their contents.|||

Hi Brian,

Thank you for replying, so my if i have to run over to the next page for the same employee so if i am using a lot of ReportItems to have print DataSet Data in the page header and footer for eache page the data changes per employee so is it posible to make the report items repete the same data to the next page if the page is for the same employee so i can have the information for the page header and fotter for that page as well?

Thanks
