So we found two more quirks with ActiveReports:

1. If you are trying to dynamically adjust the height of all of the textboxes in your detail so they look like the table row, you have no real way to do that in the Detail Format event where it would make sense. Instead, in the Detail Format event, ActiveReports just paints the object to the original size you set it and fills it with text. At some point, behind the scenes it grows the textbox, but we can't seem to hook into it.
2. When I'm creating multiple rows of controls with borders in ActiveReports, it seems to want to increment the border-size, so that the first set of controls are the border thickness I want, but each successive line has a thicker border. The only way to combat this is to set the border-style to something different than what I was using, so instead of solid lines, I'll have to use dots.

ActiveReports will continue to make my life easier, but I'm going to have to build so many damn tools to make it easy to work with that I just want to curse.
