Allow Nested Lists to Grow

Hello. I have nested lists that are working the way I want it to, but the
parent list does not grow vertically to accomodate the child list. If it
gets too long it just displays right over top of the child list rather than
push the child down.

Hi,

From your description, it seems that you want to show the whole child list which contained in a parent list even if the child list get longer and longer, right?

If so, I think you should set the content's property which existed inside the parent list to AutoSize. Here is a sample from MSDN document for you.

My report design uses two nested lists. The inner list contains a text box for the ATM name and address and an image for the map. The image in my report is set to AutoSize, so that it will grow depending on the size of the image coming from the Web service. The outer list contains text boxes for the store name and location. The outer list is grouped by store name. An image of my report in Layout mode is shown in Figure 3.

Figure 4 shows the rendered report with the maps to the ATM locations.

I really appreciate you responding to me.

This sounds like what I am looking for, but the property "AutoSize" is only available for Images. I am dealing with child lists that share a parent. The parent's information is bleeding over top of the child information.
