Setting field heights

This should (hopefully!) be the last of my questions in the ongoing "Data Reports" series.
Is there a way to set the height of the fields in the data report so that they do not shrink to fit the height of the font used? Changing the size of the font is not what I want to do, the fields contain only a period (.), which I want to keep small and unnoticed. (Its only there to make the field border visible). As it is, it doesn't matter what height I make the fields when I'm designing the form, it is always the same height in runtime. Is there a property or something to change this? I couldn't find one looking on msdn, but I didn't really know what I was after.
Thanks in advance

Is the field set to autogrow? You could attempt to set the field properties at run time by placing code in the report initialize module.

The "cangrow" property is set to "false". I'm not sure I know what you mean when you refer to the "report initialize module". Can you be a little more specific, or at least tell me what I should be searching for on google? Thanks

Option Explicit
Private Sub DataReport_Initialize()
On Error GoTo Err_initialize
'You can run code before each report is generated.
'Here you can attempt to set the field properites.
dataReport.Sections(x).Controls.Item(Y).Height = a
dataReport.Sections(x).Controls.Item(Y).Width = b


Exit_initialize:
Exit Sub
Err_initialize:
Resume Exit_initialize:
End Sub

Well, a change in the project means I don't have to use this anymore, but thanks for the solution anyway. It could be helpful on the next project.
