Line between columns
In my report detail view, I drew a line to the left of the fields. When I
view the report it puts the line between the columns and an extra one off on the right margin. Is there another way to do this that would make the line part of the page setup rather than the "detail" portion of the report? I ask because while I can accept the extra line on the right margin, some of my fields have wrapped text. As the line is only set to be the height of the orignial field, it means that the line between columns often has breaks in it as it goes down the page. Any ideas would help! |

It will probably be easier to draw the line programmatically.
Use the Line statement in the Page event procedure of the report. -- Allen Browne - Microsoft MVP. Perth, Western Australia.

(VBA's all new, so forgive if this is a newbie question)
Is it really the page event? I only want the line between columns in the detail section of the report. Headings and Footers don't need to be slit.

The Page Header and Page Footer sections are fixed height, i.e. they do not
have Can Grow or Can Shrink properties. Therefore you can calculate at design time where the line should start (below the Page Header) and where it should end (above the Page Footer.) Or perhaps you have group headers/footers interspersed throughout the page, and you don't want the vertical line to slice through them? If so the Page event is not suitable. Stephen Lebans has a routine for drawing the lines like that at: http://www.lebans.com/PrintLines.htm I'm not sure how you would hide them at the right margin though. -- Allen Browne - Microsoft MVP.
