FIX: Frame Around Memo Field Doesn't Stretch Correctly

The information in this article applies to:

• Microsoft FoxPro for Windows, version 2.6a

SYMPTOMS

If two memo fields surrounded by frames are placed one under the other in the Detail band of a report, the frames will not stretch correctly with the memo fields. The frame around the second memo field appears to be starting at a fixed location with respect to the start of each Detail band. This does not occur in Visual FoxPro.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. This problem was corrected in Visual FoxPro version 3.0 for Windows.

MORE INFORMATION

Steps to Reproduce Problem

1. Create a new table that contains two memo fields. Add a couple of records with varying amounts of data in the memo fields.

2. Create a new report. Place both memo fields, one under the other, in the Detail band.

3. Create a frame for each memo field by using the rectangle tool. Change the pen color of each frame to make the results easy to see.

4. Hold down the shift key, and click the first memo field. Then click its frame. On the Object menu, click Group. Repeat this process for the second memo and its frame.

5. On the Report menu, click Preview.
