I am using ES2, I am trying to get a form to shift down when a field grows in a subform, and nothing I tries works. I am not an expert in this area, but all the help I have tried on-line does not seem to workI would be more than happy to email the form to anyone that could give me some assistance. I have already spent too much time on this project, and if I cant get it to work, I will have to move back to a simple word form without all the fancey bells and whistles, but I hate to move backwards. Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Kathy

You can find a lot of useful examples on the Assure Dynamics page.
Here's one that show how the expand objects in flowed layouts.

Thank you so much, I tried to duplicate the form from Assure and something is still wrong. The background of the subform is not light green, I am not sure if the color was for display purpose only, but it still did not flow right either. I was unable to find the option in the testfield to "Display all of the content (on exit). I am also getting an warning note: The object may not work properly. Although the object is allowed to break, deselecting the "allow page breaks within content" option of the parent object restricts this object from breaking between pages. Here is the settings as they are currently set:
Subform:
OBJECT TAB
Binding:
Object: subform1
DataBinding: Usename (subform1)
Pagination: Greyed out
Subform:
Content: Flowed
Flow Direction: Top to Bottom
Allow Page Breaks withing Content Checked
This subform is an insertion point Unchecked
BORDER TAB - NA
LAYOUT TAB
x = .25IN Y=.25IN
width = 8in height = greyed out
autofit no checked autofit = greyed out but checked
ACCESIBILITY TAB
Role: None
Rest is greyed out
TEXT FIELD SETTINGS:
OBJECT TAB
Field:
Field type: Text Field
Caption: TextField
Appearance: Sunken Box
Allow Multiple Line Checked
Limit Length - Not Checked
Limit Lenfth to visible Area - Not Checked
Allow Page Breaks within content - Checked
Keep with Next - Not Checked
Value
Type: User Entered Optional
The rest is blank
Binding
Name: TextField1
Data Binding: Use name (testField1)
BORDER TAB - NA
LAYOUT TAB
X = Greyed out Y = Greyed out
Width: 2.4409in Height: .3543in
Expand to fit - not checked Expand to fit = Checked
What am I missing?
