border around detail section only
I am currently creating a report and would like to put a border that
encompasses a portion of my page header and all of the the data in the detail section. My reports will be two pages so the border on the first page will span most of the page and on the second page it will need to be smaller to just encompass the few remaining records in the detail section to where the report ends. Can anyone help with coding that could allow me to create this type of border including where it needs to be written. Thanks in advance.

border around detail section only
Assuming that your detail section is a fixed height (doesn't have any
controls with CanGrow set true) then can you just put the left and right border lines in the detail section and the top and bottom border lines in group header/footer sections? If you do have controls that can grow then this won't work, as the left and right border lines would not grow and you would get gaps in the border. Jon.

What alternative is there? I also need a border (or column lines) between my
detail sections. Right now I need the text boxes to Grow as necessary but the borders that I placed are outgrown when the text within the detail increases.

You can use the Line method in the detail section's Print
event to draw the vertical lines: Me.Line (0,0)-(0,30000) will draw a line at the left margin Me.Line(Me.Width,0)-Step(0,30000) at the right margin Me.Line(Me.textbox.Left,0)-Step(0,30000) at left of textbox Me.Line(Me.textbox.Left+Me.textbox.Width,0)-Step(0,30000) at right edge of textbox ftrujill0 wrote: What alternative is there?
