PROBLEM: Printing Lines in Report

[Dan Johnson]

The right-hand side of my report dispalys a list of amounts, with subtotals
and totals. In many cases, I have added lines, either above or below the
related control.

Usually (not always), when I view the report on the screen, I can see all of
the lines in the report. But almost always, when I go to print the report,
many of the lines don't print.

I have spent many hours trying to get the top and height properties of the
various controls/lines to match up so there are no overlaps, to no avail.
There must be something else I'm forgetting to do. Can anyone suggest a
reason why these lines aren't printing?

Thanks!

If you don't want your text boxes to grow, make sure you appropriate
properties. Also, are the backgrounds of text boxes set to transparent?

Thanks, Duane.

One of the applicable text boxes was set to grow when it really didn't need
to be. Looks like it's working now.

After playing with this awhile, it's still hit and miss when printing.

Oddly, when I make the line BorderWidth 1pt, it almost always displays when
printed. Hairline, on the other hand, never seems to display when printing
(although hairline's will display on other parts of the report).

Could having double-underlines (two hairlines) be causing the problem? I
have a very good HP laser, so I'm assuming it's not the printer??

There may be some printing property that will work better for printing the
hair-lines. If you have double-underlines and borders, I can see how this
might clobber one-another.
