Adding additional lines to fill a page

[Nelson]

I have a form with a header, 1 group header, detail and a
footer. The detail section can have up to 6 records
displayed. When the group has less than 6 records, I need
to print additional blank records to fill the page with
the formated boxes and lines. In other words, if the
record source query has two records, the form needs to add
4 more detail lines with blank text boxes. If the query
has 5 records, the form needs to add an additional line.

Any ideas? TIA

This is some sample code in the On Page event of a report that draws the
lines. You should remove all line controls and allow the code to create
them.
Private Sub Report_Page()
Dim intRows As Integer
Dim intLoop As Integer
Dim intTopMargin As Integer
intRows = 24
intDetailHeight = Me.Section(0).Height
intTopMargin = 360
For intLoop = 0 To intRows
Me.CurrentX = 20
Me.CurrentY = intLoop * intDetailHeight + intTopMargin
Me.Print intLoop + 1
Me.Line (0, intLoop * intDetailHeight + intTopMargin)-Step(Me.Width,
0)
Next
End Sub
