close up.

I don't see a CanShrink property in ActiveReports.
How can I get this effect using ActiveReports 2.0?

Thanks!

Hi Turtle,

Yes, AR 1.0 and 2.0 have the CanShrink functionality. The CanShrink is
documented in both help files. You may want to reference this article as
well http://www.datadynamics.com/kb/KBFINDShow.asp?ArticleId=1178 and
reference the Detail_BeforePrint and Detail_AfterPrint.
