Format of Details Section

[Diane]

Hello,

I have created a report where all my details are printing
with a rectangle around them. This is what I would like
but then there's a space between the next detail. I would
like all my details to appear in a rectangle but to be
around all the details not each one individually. Can
this be done?

Set each control's BorderStyle to transparent to get rid of
the individual boxes. Add a Rectangle control that is as
tall and wide as the detail section.

I would like each detail to be inclosed in a rectangular
box followed my no spaces. One right after another. My
report is displaying a list of employees. And when I
create a rectangle for the entire area only one detail
prints per page.

How big is the Detail area on the report in design view? This can have an effect on the distance between the detailed records

You can Cheat it by placing a line at the bottom o fthe Group Header,
and another at the top of the Group Footer
Then add a vertical Line covering the entire details section to the
left. Align it with the Left edge of your horizontal lines
Add another similar vertical Line at the right side.

It won't work real well if CanGrow is switched on for the Detail
section
