Default Question on Sections

Is there a way to put "boxes" around whole sections - easily? Seems like I
saw something about it on one of the Microsoft instruction videos, but darned
if I can find it. I'm doing it now with vertical lines, Page and Section
header lines, but it never comes out quite right, depending on how many lines
there are, etc. for anyone familiar with Paradox, I'm trying to emulate the
"look" of a report I am converting to Access. Any help would ber appreciated.
Thanks.

Use the section's Print event:

Me.Line (0,0) - (Me.Width,Me.Height), , B

You can use the DrawWidth method to specify the line's
thickness.
