how to make a rectangle or frame grow with subrpt?

[dprogrammer]

Hi, I have multiple subreports on one Group footer of my report. I have enclosed them with rectangles. The subreports grow dynamically but the rectangles won't. Is there anyway to make rectangles also grow with their corresponding subreports? Or is there anyway to add borders to subreports?

Thanks in advance.

try using frames instead of rectangles.

I ran into something similar in the detail band...  I wound up putting each subreport inside of a frame, and then wrapping all 3 of those frames inside of another frame.  My border was on the outside frame.    I had no trouble making the outer frame grow...

Thanks Steve. You mean I need to enclose each subreport in its individual frame and then enclose all frames into one big frame? What should be the properties for small and big frames?

Thanks Steve. I've been trying to figure this one out on and off for quite some time now. I've never used a frame, but I'll find it somewhere and work with it.
