Hi there,

I'm extremely new to creating reports and I'm already stumped. I want to draw gridlines around my textboxes in my report to create a sort of pseudo-MS-word table. I tried using the line control, but it only draws slanted lines. Is there a way to draw horizontal and vertical lines without using code?

Thanks in advance for anyone who even takes the time to read this post.

Select all your controls in a section and display the properties.
Border style: Solid
Border Color: 0
Border Width: Hairline

Format-Size-To Tallest
Format-Align - Top (or Bottom)
Format-Align-Left (or Right)

Run the report.

Is that close to what you need?
