Question : modify cangrow property dynamically

I have an MS Access 2007 report that I modify on the fly. On the OnOpen Event, the code adjusts the Left and Width of each textbox, and it works fine. I would like to also adjust the CanGrow property, but I get an error.

Report_rptMediaHitList.Controls("txtDetail1").CanGrow = False

Generates the error: "You can't assign a value to this object"

Thx!
