Can Grow moves lower fields

Hello, I have a form that starts with the client address at the top. The
address field grows / shrinks for multiple address lines. No problem.
BUT then I have a positional filed that must start 3 inches from the top.
For each extra line in the address teh positional field is moved down a line.
How can I always have this field start in the same position on the page
regardless of how many lines in the address?
Thanks
Chuck

Then do not let it grow or shrink. Set it to the maximum you will ever need
and it will not interfere with the positional field.

Thanks however that wouldn't work. The can grow field is the street address
which is follwed by the City, State Zip field. If I make the street field the
size to hold 3 lines then whene there is only one line the City, St Zip will
be seperated and not look right.

Concatenat the street address, City, State. and Zip into one field.
WholeAddr: [street address] & Chr(13) & Chr(10) & City & ", " & State & "
" & [Zip]
