Lines in Reports

[Bryce Dalley]

I want to have verticle lines that seperate the fields on
my report. My problem is that my fields need to be able
to grow and shrink. My verticle lines won't grow and
shrink with the data, so whatever length of line I use in
the design view is what I get in the output of the
report. Is there anyway to have a verticle line that will
cover the entire detail area regardless of the size of the
fields?

Please help.

Draw the lines using the Line method in code using the Format Event of the detail
section instead of using the line tool on the report toolbox. These are drawn using
an x/y coordinate system and they cannot draw lines that extend beyond the section
where the code is run. So if you just specify a very large lower coordinate, the
line will always extend to the bottom of the detail section regardless of how much it
grows.
