border in report detail section

[Paul Finey]

Hi
The problem with placing a rectangle around a record is
that if the Can Grow property of a control is enaled the
rectangle will cut through that field. I have found a
resonable alternative to this is Alternating Gray
background for the detail section. You can find this
in "The Access 2000 Devlopers Handbook" by Getz, Litwin &
Gilbert Volume 1 Page 706. (it is also the 97 version and
I assume the 2002 version as well)

Another solution is to use the Line method of the Report object in the
Print event.
THere is sample code here:

Scroll down to the older non class based version.
