	Please help ... I have a sub-report that is currently 4 inches wide and I need it to be full width. I though it was the same width as what it is on the main report. On the main report, I dragged it all the way across but it is locked somehow on 4 inches.

	Is the Lock position and size on? If so... Right click on the sub-report and select format Sub report. Click on the Common tab. Uncheck the "Lock Position and Size" (set to False). THis should make it so you can expand the width.

	Nope that doesn't work. The area on the main report, I can resize both up and down. If I make it narrower that 4 inches, it automatically shrinks but when I make it 7 inches, it stays at 4 inches max. Please help! Thanks, Jonathan

	Odd. Do you have columns set up in the section that it resides? IS there anything about the actual design of the subreport that is making it a specific size? Another quick process to try would be, save the subreport as a new report (save as). Create a new section in the main report and then re-insert the new copy of the sub-report you just made to see if this new version can be resized.
