Expandable text boxes overlaps next text box..

[mcalpinm]

can anyone help me to trouble shoot this problem.  it took me long enough to figure out how to create text boxes that expand down a form, but now I am realizing that although the text boxes expand they overlap with the next text box below.  is there anyway to make that second text box instantly drop lower on the form as the first one expands?

thanks

The root subform of the form must be set to flowed.

thanks a lot.  what i need is for the boxes on page 4 and 5 to be expandable without of course overlapping the next questions.  thanks for your time.

incredible.  thank you very much.  is there any way that you could describe to me what I was doing wrong and what changes you needed to make to complete what I had requested?

thanks again for your time

The expandable sections must be in a flowed subform, so to maintian the position of fields I wrapped each of th equestions in a positioned subform then put each of this in a flowed subform. So have a look at my hierarchy view versus your hierarchy view.

hi again,

I can see the differences in the heirarchy but I still have no idea how to go about doing this on another form on my own. (My boss is asking me to teach it to her and everyone in our office). If it would be impossible to describe to me via this forum, can you reccommend anywhere I could read about/do a tutorial on this specific function of livecycle? thank you again for your help.  p.s. if you could also tell me how to open two documents in livecycle at the same time so that I could directly compare the two heirarchies it would be much appreciated
